Exam Preparation
To help minimize discomfort during mammography, we recommend you schedule your mammogram to take place one week after your period when breasts are less tender.
On the day of the examination, do not wear talcum powder, deodorant, lotion or perfume under your arms or on your breasts. These substances can cause artifacts on your mammogram making the images harder to read.
Wear a two piece outfit so that you only have to remove your top and bra for the examination. Any jewelry worn (especially earrings or necklaces) should be easily and quickly removable.
You should be prepared to discuss any pertinent history such as prior surgeries, hormone use, family or personal history of breast cancer. Additionally, any breast symptom or problem that you are experiencing should be described to the technologist performing the examination.
It is important that you bring your previous mammogram with you. If it is not possible to do so, please bring a list of where and when you have had previous mammograms with you to your appointment.
