AB The  first  mammogram  was  performed  in  1913  by  Albert  Salomon,  a  surgeon  in  Berlin,  using  a  standard  x-ray  machine  on  an  excised  breast  and  axilla.  Dr.  Salomon  wanted  to  show  that  the  cancer  spread  to  the  axillary  lymph  nodes  from  the  breast.  Unfortunately,  Dr.  Salomon's  work  was  cut  short  by  political  turmoil  in  Germany,  and  we  do  not  hear  of  radiographs  of  breast  specimens  again  until  1927  when  another  German  surgeon,  Otto  Kleinschmidt,  describes  a  technique  for  imaging  the  breast  that  he  attributed  to  his  mentor,  the  plastic  surgeon  Dr.  Erwyn  Payr.
