OPS-Code 3-136:

Your milk ducts have been X-rayed. This involved using a contrast agent.
Mother’s milk forms in small mammary glands in the breast. The milk goes from the mammary glands, through the milk ducts, to the nipple.
A contrast agent is a fluid. The contrast agent is intended to help to differentiate the tissues more clearly from one another in the X‑ray examination.
