Mammography

An X-ray technique that produces two different pictures of the breast, one taken from the top and one taken from the side. These can reveal changes in the breast before they are detectable by the patient or the healthcare provider, and often indicate whether a lump is cancerous or not. Mammography can also reveal other changes in the breast that might be caused by cancer, such as local scarring and distortion.
