mammogram

If the term refers to the actual radiographic picture, this would be more appropriate. "Mammografia" is often used erroneously to indicate the picture and not the radiographic study.
Just FYI.
Reference:

cb + Gould-Chiampo

See below.

Below are the definitions, from the Webster's, of both "mammography" and "mammogram". The former is the process, and the latter is the image (= the product of mammography).

mammography, n.
x-ray photography of a breast, esp. for detection of tumors.

mammogram, n.
an x-ray photograph obtained by mammography.

Hope that this helps.

Best regards.
