It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

What Happens During a Mammogram?
What Happens During a Mammogram?
When you go for a mammogram, it might be reassuring to know what to expect as the experience can be a bit uncomfortable for some women. The process is fairly quick:
- You will stand in front of a special x-ray machine, usually in a front-opening gown.
- The mammography technologist will place one breast on a plate.
- Another plate, located above, will firmly press down on your breast.
- The plates are designed to flatten your breast and to hold it still so an x-ray can be taken.
- You will feel pressure for a brief moment.
- These steps are then repeated for a side view of the breast.
