Written summary
A clear medical summary of the key information covered in this video
Mammography uses a low dose of X-rays. When screening or diagnostic mammography is recommended, the benefit of finding important breast disease generally outweighs the small radiation risk.
Tell the imaging team if you may be pregnant and bring previous studies when available. The right test and timing depend on age, symptoms, risk and national screening guidance; mammography does not answer every breast question by itself.
