The routine mammographic study consists of the realization of two projections (radiographs) of each breast, which are technically called the caudal skull and the mediolateral oblique. Mammograms are read by two radiologists separately (double independent reading).
The most appropriate interval between mammograms is the one that maximizes the benefits of screening with the fewest number of mammograms performed throughout the lifetime of women. The proposed interval in all screening programs is 2 years.
