How much radiation is in a mammogram? | The Mammo Minute with Dr. Arthy Saravanan 

In this episode of "Mammo Minute," Dr. Arthy Saravanan, Chief of the Breast Imaging Section at Austin Radiological Association, addresses an important topic: "How much radiation is in a mammogram?" She discusses the low-dose nature of mammograms and reassures viewers that the benefits of early detection and treatment of breast cancer far outweigh the risks associated with this minimal amount of radiation exposure.
Dr. Saravanan provides a helpful comparison, noting that a mammogram exposes you to approximately 0.4 millisieverts of radiation, which is roughly equivalent to three months of natural background radiation that we're all exposed to in daily life.
Learn why it's crucial to start scheduling mammograms at age 40 and continue annually. Don't miss this informative "Mammo Minute," and remember to like, share, and subscribe for more valuable insights on breast imaging and health!
