I-mammogram ingasetshenziswa kokubili njengokuhlola noma ngenhloso yokuxilonga: Ukuhlola i-mammogram. Ukuhlola i-mammogram kusetshenziswa ukuthola izinguquko zebele ezingaba yingozi kubantu abangenazo izimpawu noma izimpawu. Umgomo ukubona izingozi uma zincane futhi ukwelashwa kungase kube lula. Ochwepheshe kanye nezinhlangano zezokwelapha abavumelani ngesikhathi sokuqala ama-mammogram ajwayelekile noma ukuthi ukuhlolwa kufanele kuphindwe kangakanani. Xoxa nodokotela wakho mayelana nezici zakho ezingozi, izintandokazi zakho, kanye nezinzuzo nezingozi zokuhlola. Ndingakusiza ukuba unqume ukuthi iyiphi isikhathi sokuhlola i-mammography efanele kuwe.

Kusetshenziswa futhi ukuhlola imiphumela engalindelekile kwi-mammogram yokuhlola. Ukuhlola i-mammogram kuhlanganisa izithombe ezengeziwe ze-mammogram.

Izingozi nemikhawulo ye-mammograms zihlanganisa: I-mammograms ikudalula emikhawulweni ephansi yomgqomo. Lo mqondo mncane kakhulu, noma kunjalo, futhi kubantu abaningi izinzuzo ze-mammograms eziqondile zidlula izingozi ezibekwa yileli banga lomgomo. Ukwenza i-mammogram kungadala ukuhlolwa okwengeziwe.
