I’ve never had a mammogram so I actually don’t know how it works. Only heard the jokes about how they squish your breasts and that it hurts. We were talking about how men can have breast cancer so why don’t they get mammograms? (Maybe they do). Then we laughed as we pretended to slip a tiny man boob into an imaginary mammogram machine (that I’ve never seen).
So I thought they can do X-rays and stuff. Why do they *have* to torture you to get the results. Did some sick doctor invent the machine, laughing the whole time about how evil and unnecessary it is? /s
Biology tag? Idk.

At Engineering school I attended a seminar by a local Healthcare company on their new product: a track specifically designed for MRIs in order to obtain the same info as a traditional rad-squishy-boob mammogram (or similar info regarding the concerning tissue).
This track could be easily adjusted to fit a wide variety of bubbies without the need for prolonged flattening. There were just an array of wire coils that would fit snug against the flesh.
Its seems to me that the traditional mammogram is a cheap and uncomfortable way to find out if one needs an MRI. Obviously availablity and cost are a barrier for just going in for the MRI without the flat rad blast, but I look forward to the day where the old fashioned way will be one less uncomfortable nuisance to all female kind.
