FAQ’s

What is a mammogram?

A mammogram is a breast health screening that uses an X-ray exam to check your breast health. A mammogram can help find problems with your breasts, such as cysts or cancer.

What age should women get a mammogram?

Start a conversation with your doctor to find out when you should begin having yearly breast screenings. We recommend women get a mammogram every year, beginning at age 40, but women who have a family history or an increased risk of breast cancer may need to have a mammogram sooner. Most insurance providers cover a mammogram each year. Check with your insurance provider for more details on your coverage.

What happens during a mammogram?

You will need to undress from the waist up and wear a gown. The technologist will position your breast on a flat plate on the mammography machine and then each of your breasts will be compressed slowly, one at a time. Your breasts will be repositioned several times to capture X-ray images from different angles for the clearest, most complete views of each breast.
