Answer:

Detect breast cancer

Step-by-step explanation:

Mammogram is an X-ray of the breast and is most widely used as a screening tool used to detect and diagnose breast cancer.

Similar to how x-ray is used to detect if you have fractures in bones, mammogram is used to detect cancers in breasts.
