Why would my doctor recommend screening mammography?

Your doctor would recommend a screening mammogram to detect breast cancer before it can be felt as a lump.

The aim is to detect breast cancer at its earliest stage. Early detection increases the likelihood of a cancer being successfully treated and often allows for greater treatment options. Screening mammography has been shown to decrease the death rate from breast cancer.

How do I prepare for a screening mammography?

No preparation is required for screening mammography.

When you make your appointment, please let the radiology facility know if you have breast implants, so they can schedule a longer appointment. This is because it takes more time to obtain clear

X-ray images or pictures when implants are present.

Do not wear any deodorant, perfume, lotion or talcum powder on the day of your appointment, because these substances might show up as shadows on your mammogram. Wear a two-piece outfit, so you only need to undress from the waist up.

How is the procedure performed?

Mammography is performed on an outpatient basis.


Breast compression is necessary in order to:





  • Reduce x-ray scatter to increase sharpness of picture.




The examination process should take about 30 minutes.

What will I experience during and after the procedure?
