Breast cancer is among the most serious health risks facing women today. But the confusing, often contradictory information being circulated about the safety and effectiveness of mammography as a way to detect breast cancer is leaving many women to wonder if mammography is right for them.

Don Bloomstrom, President of Marquis Medical - a medical technology firm - was in the studio to talk about what mammography is, the changes in technology and who this type of screening is best for.

The goal is to provide women with the information they need so that breast cancer can be detected early while it is still easily treatable.
