What should I expect when I go for a mammogram?
assistant
You should expect to be asked questions about your health history and any symptoms you may have. A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast, so it's important that you are comfortable with the technician taking the pictures. The mammogram will also involve compression of the breast in order to get the best picture possible. It can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 30 minutes depending on the machine being used. After the mammogram, you'll need to wait for the results.
