Mammogram, X-ray image of the breast that helps physicians detect and evaluate breast abnormalities. Mammography is typically performed on women who do not have symptoms of breast cancer. The procedure can detect cancer in its early stages, when treatment is most effective. A mammogram can detect a breast abnormality as small as 0.5 cm (0.2 in), a size too small for a woman or her doctor to feel it as a lump.
