Mammogram results
As detailed above, a patient who doesn’t show any signs or symptoms of breast disease should undergo a screening mammogram starting at a certain age. If no positive findings are discovered, the patient is sent home and no additional procedures are required. This should not discourage patients from undergoing annual mammograms, as breast disease can arise at any time. If, however, an abnormal finding is discovered, a diagnostic mammogram is usually ordered to analyze the pathology in more detail.
