Original Note:
The claim that radiation from one mammogram is equal to several hundred X-rays is false; a mammogram typically exposes a patient to about 0.4 millisieverts of radiation, equivalent to roughly two chest X-rays, according to the American Cancer Society https://www.cancer.org/cancer/breast-cancer/screening-tests-and-early-detection/mammograms/mammograms-and-radiation.html
