Guillain-Barre (gee-YAH-buh-RAY) syndrome is a rare disorder in which your body's immune system attacks your nerves. Weakness and tingling in your extremities are usually the first symptoms. These sensations can quickly spread, eventually paralyzing your whole body.
Mammography is done in clinics on an outpatient basis. 1  While a woman stands in front of the mammography machine, her breast is placed between 2 plastic compression plates. 2  The plates are then pressed together to flatten the breast.
So the next step is usually either a diagnostic mammogram, and/or an ultrasound. A diagnostic mammogram is similar to the mammogram, but the image is magnified so that the radiologist gets a larger, clearer picture of any area that couldn't be properly seen on the original film. An ultrasound, since it uses different technology, provides a completely different perspective on the breast tissue.
