Final answer:
The statement is false. Mammography uses X-rays, while ultrasonography uses high-frequency sound waves to create images, and is not the same as mammography.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement 'Mammography uses sonograms to create an image of the breast' is false. Mammography is an imaging technique that uses low-dose X-rays to examine the human breast, primarily used to detect and diagnose breast cancer. Ultrasonography, or ultrasound, is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images, and while it can be used for breast imaging, it is not the same as mammography. Instead, ultrasonography is often used during pregnancy to monitor fetal development, as it is the least invasive and uses no electromagnetic radiation (Figure 1.19d). In the context of breast cancer detection, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is sometimes used in conjunction with mammography to improve detection rates and reduce false positives.
