</FONT>Mammograms are quick and easy. You simply stand in front of an x-ray
machine. The person who takes the x-rays places your breast between two
plastic plates. The plates press your breast and make it flat. This may
be uncomfortable for a few seconds, but it helps get a clear picture. You
will have x-rays taken of each breast. A mammogram takes only a few seconds.</TD></TR>
