as needed. Technology has come a very, very long way in just the last 2 decades. Mammography isn't going to affect the reproductive system, the energy of the xrays are to low to expose the ovaries. There are lead shields for the wary. I know mammo saves lives, I've been a mammographer 25 years and I've seen A LOT. So many people just don't know the technology and only hear the words xray or radiation and think the worst and worse, tell others about what they think they know and then lives are not saved. You'd be surprised there is so much more radiation in your home and outside that you would get from many xrays at a medical facility. Oncology/PET CT is not in this category, of course. I pray for the family SB spoke of, that they will get tested. It's very safe and certainly outweighs any risks however small.
