Screening vs diagnostic mammography?Screening mammograms are for women 40 and older, scheduling an annual breast cancer screening without any breast concerns. Diagnostic mammography is for women experiencing problems reported to their doctors for a close follow-up after having breast cancer or a lumpectomy. Diagnostic mammography requires a doctor's order.

What are the necessary items I need to bring to my mammogram?Photo ID, Insurance Card and Primary Care Provider’s contact information

What to expect during a mammogram?During your mammogram, your breasts will be compressed gently but firmly to provide a clear picture. This compression can be uncomfortable for some women but does not last very long. After your mammogram, you may have some skin discoloration due to the compression. This discoloration is temporary and normal. You can always speak to your technologists about any concerns you may have.

When will I receive my report?All studies are read by Breast Fellowship Board Certified Radiologists within 48 hours of the exam or receipt of prior images. Results will be sent by mail to the patient and their primary care provider
