Mammograms Explained: A Conversation with a Radiologist - Dr. Rana Yazdani
Mammograms can bring up a lot of questions, and sometimes a lot of anxiety. In this conversation, Dr. Yazdani, a diagnostic radiologist on the medical staff of Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, joined Graci and Helen to break down what to expect, what different findings can mean, and what happens after your mammogram is performed. Together, they explore: What is the process a woman goes through when getting her mammogram? Why do mammograms hurt some women and not others? What are the reasons a woman might get called back after a mammogram? How do dense breasts impact the mammogram-reading process? If a radiologist sees something concerning on a mammogram, what happens from there? For the woman listening who has been putting off her mammogram, what do you wish she understood that might make her more comfortable scheduling one?
