A 3D Mammogram is the starting point to determine your breast tissue density. If you have dense breast tissue, you will be notified if you could benefit from supplemental imaging such as a Breast Ultrasound.
Most women of average risk start annual mammography at age 40. Women of increased risk may be advised to start earlier based on their family history or personal risk factors.
Mammograms can detect small cancers before they can be felt at their earliest size when they are most treatable.
Most women do not find Mammograms painful. However, some women may experience more discomfort if they have fibrocystic breasts or during their menstrual cycle when the breasts are more sensitive.
Avoid applying deodorant because it can interfere with the examination. If you have menstrual cycles, try to time your exam at least 7 days after finishing your cycle (not during your cycle) to minimize breast tenderness.
Not sure which type of mammogram you need? We offer both:
Screening Mammograms are routine, low-dose exams for women with no symptoms, typically recommended annually starting at age 40.
Diagnostic Mammograms provide a closer look when a screening exam finds something unusual, or when you’re experiencing symptoms like a lump or discharge.
