Mammography
Mammography is a type of imaging test that uses low-energy X-rays to examine the breasts for abnormalities, such as lumps, cysts, or calcifications. It is primarily used as a screening tool for breast cancer in women over a certain age, typically starting at age 40 or 50. Mammography can also be used to diagnose breast cancer and monitor the effectiveness of treatment.
