Dr. Mary Mahoney discusses mammography.
A. Normal left mammogram with motion blur. Compression of the breast is necessary in order to minimize the chance of blurring or fuzziness that may hide a cancer.
B. Normal left mammogram without motion blur. This is the same view of the same patient, performed with adequate breast compression that has immobilized the breast. The image is sharp and therefore cancer is easier to detect.
