As mts said, mammograms pick up calcifications. Ultrasounds and MRI's do not. Screening mammos are the basic pictures of each side, and diagnostic mammos are the views that are done if they think there is something questionable in the basic pictures that were taken in a particular area and they want a closeup of that, etc.
