A mammogram primarily focuses on the breast tissue and may include some surrounding areas, such as the upper outer quadrant of the breast, which can extend close to the armpit. However, it is not specifically designed to examine the armpit (axillary) region. For a thorough evaluation of the armpit area, additional imaging like an ultrasound or MRI may be recommended.
