On what day of the menstrual cycle should you undergo a mammogram?

Before the procedure, a woman must take off her clothes above the belt, as well as jewelry and accessories. Then it is necessary to take a position either sitting or standing. The abdomen is covered with a lead apron, which protects the internal organs from the effects of x-rays.

The mammary gland should be placed on a special mammograph plate, under which the radiator is located. Above, the chest will be further pressed against the second plate. This is necessary in order for the area of the gland to be enlarged. The result of scanning is displayed on a standard X-ray film.

Age restrictions

Mammography is performed for women over 40 years with a frequency of once a year, after reaching 50 years - 1 time in 6 months.
