What you can expect when you are having a mammogram; is that the technologists will place you into the X-Ray machine and a device will be placed on your breast. This will press down on your breast in order to hold it still and in order to allow us to have a uniform thickness of your breast that we can image, without having to have areas that are too thick or too thin.
