Mammography is a special type of x-ray imaging used to create detailed images of the breast.

It is estimated that 48 million mammograms are performed each year in the US.
Mammography uses low dose x-rays, achieved by using targets made of low atomic weight
alloys (eg, molybdenum and rhodium). Filters made of aluminum, molybdenum, beryllium,
rhodium, or palladium are used to eliminate photons that do not contribute to the image,
thereby minimizing the radiation dose to the patient.
Breast compression is necessary to flatten the breast so that the maximum amount of tissue
can be imaged and examined. It also allows for a lower x-ray dose and immobilization of the
breast to reduce motion blur. Compression also reduces x-ray scatter, which may degrade the
image. Breast compress
