- Diagnostic digital mammogram – Checks breast health if you have a breast lump, pain or other symptoms, or if a screening mammogram shows breast tissue that may be abnormal
- 3D mammogram (tomosynthesis) – Uses X-rays to create detailed, 3D images of breast tissue that help radiologists more easily find unusual tissue, especially in women with dense breasts
