A mammogram of the right breast is a specialized X-ray imaging test used to examine breast tissue for abnormalities, such as masses, cysts, or microcalcifications. This procedure helps in the early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer or other breast conditions.

During the test, the right breast is positioned and compressed gently between two plates to obtain high-resolution images from multiple angles, typically craniocaudal (CC) and mediolateral oblique (MLO) views. Compression is necessary to spread out the breast tissue for better visualization and to reduce radiation exposure.
