When seatbelts were first implemented there was a rise in ER visits because of injuries. This made proponents of anti seatbelt car manufacturers tell the public that seatbelts were bad. It's because people were just being injured and not dying from car accidents as a corpse doesnt go to the ER.
Hey Radiologist here. When/if you get a mammogram, it is important to remember that you got that bruising. Trauma can cause something called fat necrosis (can develop weeks-months after the injury). Fat necrosis can look like cancers, so knowing you had trauma to that region is helpful information for us.

Ouch. Better a bruised boob than a split skull though.
