The answer is unless it’s very advanced with secondary changes no.
The x ray used for breast screening is called a mammogram. This is not a chest x ray.
Mammograms are les useful in pre menopausal ladies as there is a high rate of inaccurate diagnoses.
The gold standard there would be an ultra sound scan, not CT as Mentioned above.
They would usually do a needle biopsy at the same time if they found something.
The bottom line is that if you have a lump and are worried, get it checked.
