Mammogram and TRAM

I underwent mastectomy (left) and breast reconstruction (TRAM) in 1999.  Since then, mammograms have only been completed on the right breast.  Should a mammogram be completed on the reconstructed breast and does this require any special technology?

Dear patpat:  Mammograms can be and are performed on TRAM flaps.  No special technique is generally needed.
