Mammography (Clinical Trials)

Mammography (Female Health)

An X-ray procedure using a special low irradiation technique to detect abnormal change in breast tissue. Its main use is to detect breast lumps that are too small to be found during breast self examination or physical examination. The higher the level of estrogen (and possibly progestin) the more dense breast tissue is and the less likely that a mammogram will see abnormal tissue. It has many false positive readings meaning that there is no cancer yet the test was abnormal.

Mammography (Hormone Replacement Therapy)

Mammography (Medical)

An X-ray procedure done to detect breast cancer
