Screening mammography, bilateral (2-view study of each breast), including computer-aided detection (CAD) when performed

AI EXPLANATION: A screening mammogram is a routine preventive imaging examination used to detect early signs of breast changes or breast cancer in individuals who have no symptoms. During the exam, a specialized technologist positions each breast on an X-ray plate, applying gentle compression to flatten and spread the tissue while low-dose X-rays capture two standard views of each breast. Specialized computer software is often utilized alongside the imaging process to help radiologists identify abnormal areas, microcalcifications, or dense tissue.
