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.
A mammogram takes an X-ray picture of the breast and can find changes in the breast even when they are too small for you or your healthcare provider to feel or see. For most women, the mammogram results will be normal.
