A mammogram is a routine component of a breast cancer screening program, necessary to detect the earliest signs of breast cancer.

Breast self-examination programs are important but alone cannot detect the smallest lesions. Of course, when your clinician finds a bump or a lump of some kind on a clinical exam, he/she will immediately refer the patient for a mammogram. Women with higher than average risk factors may seek additional supplemental imaging such as MRI for strong family history or whole breast ultrasound for dense tissue.

Normally, the X-ray component of a mammogram may be all that is necessary for breast cancer screening, but whole breast ultrasound can compliment dense tissue that may otherwise hide an underlying finding.
