HOW YOU CAN GET THE BEST RESULTS FROM THE BREAST - MAMMOGRAPHY: BREAST X RAYS (GENERAL INFORMATION – PART 1)
Women who can afford and have access to mammography but don't get it have all kinds of excuses. Some are afraid that the test itself is risky, since it involves radiation. This is not a concern with modern equipment. (In the old days, when a technique called xeromammography was used, women got significantly more radiation per mammogram than we get today. The newer so-called "film screen" mammograms give less radiation and are also more effective than the older kind. The Radiological Society of North America equates the radiation you get from one film-screen mammogram to the same exposure as daily living in your regular environment for several months.) Other women are just lazy and don't get around to scheduling the test, or forget to arrange for it, or simply don't realize that it needs to be done annually to be effective.
