Specializes in Diagnostic Radiology

Yes: From the American Association of Physicists in Medicine(aapm.org): "It is safe to have a mammogram while pregnant. The radiation dose received by the fetus is estimated to be extremely small - 60 times less than the dose received by the patient from one month of background radiation."
