What happens if an irregularity is found?
Generally, you are called back in to have further mammography done. You may also have a breast ultrasound or MRI(magnetic resonance imaging) done. If these show the same irregularity, you may need to have a biopsy done. A biopsy is a procedure where a surgeon takes a small amount of tissue to see if it is cancerous or not. Often, the biopsy will show that the lump or whatever is benign. If it is not benign, you will sit down with a surgeon and discuss your options.
