Mammography is a radiologic specialty focused on imaging which body part?

• A. Chest
• B. Abdomen
• C. Breast
• D. Skull

Answer: (D)

Mammography concentrates on imaging breast tissue with specialized, low‑dose X‑ray technique. This focused approach uses compression and specific positioning to reveal subtle changes like microcalcifications and small masses in the breast. The chest, abdomen, and skull refer to other body regions imaged with different radiographic studies, not the breast. So the imaging modality described is dedicated to the breast.
