Screening vs. Diagnostic Mammograms
A screening mammogram is a routine check for women who have no symptoms. It is the regular yearly test that looks for early signs of breast cancer.
A diagnostic mammogram takes a closer look at a specific concern, such as a lump, pain, or a change your doctor noticed. Not sure which one you need? Call us and we will help.
3D Mammography for a Clearer Picture
We use 3D mammography, also called digital breast tomosynthesis. Instead of one flat picture, it takes multiple thin image "slices" of the breast, giving a clearer view than a flat 2D image.
3D imaging is especially helpful for women with dense breast tissue, where overlapping tissue can hide small changes on a flat image.
What to Expect, Step by Step
- Check in. Bring your ID, your insurance card, and any prior mammogram images done elsewhere.
- Get ready. You will undress from the waist up and put on a gown. A two-piece outfit makes this easier.
- Take the images. A technologist positions your breast on the machine. Compression lasts only a few seconds per image.
- Head out. The whole visit takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Get your results. Results are typically ready within 24 to 48 hours and sent to your referring physician.
How to Prepare for Your Mammogram
- If you still have periods, schedule for the week after your period, when breasts are less tender.
- Skip deodorant, powder, and lotion under your arms and on your breasts on exam day. They can show up on the images.
- Wear a two-piece outfit so you only need to remove your top.
- Bring prior mammogram images if they were done somewhere else.

When to Start and How Often
Under current screening guidelines, most women at average risk begin screening mammograms at age 40 and repeat them every year. An annual mammogram lets your care team compare images year to year and spot small changes sooner.
If breast cancer runs in your family or you have other risk factors, talk with your doctor. You may need to start earlier, and our physicians can help you decide what is right for you.

The whole visit takes about 15 to 20 minutes. The imaging itself is only a small part of that, and compression lasts just a few seconds per picture. Most patients are in and out quickly.

When should I get my first mammogram?
