mammography

Mammography is the process of taking a mammogram. A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast. Mammograms can show areas of the breast that may become cancerous and clumps of cancerous cells that have formed a tumour before they can be felt. However, not all tumours can be detected by mammography.
