[A diagnostic mammogram] includes extra compression to "push" normal breast tissue out of the way and gives a clearer image of the suspicious area. If tiny flecks of calcium (microcalcifications) are noticed, magnified views will be taken since these flecks are sometimes associated with cancer. 3, record 1, English, - diagnostic%20mammogram

[Lors d'une mammographie diagnostique] on comprime davantage le sein pour «écarter» le tissu mammaire normal et produire une image plus claire de la région douteuse. Si l'on constate la présence de minuscules particules de calcium (microcalcifications), on en prendra des vues grossies parce qu'il y a parfois un lien entre la présence de ces particules et le cancer. 1, record 1, French, - mammographie%20diagnostique
