A screening mammogram is an annual X-ray exam of the breasts used to detect early signs of breast cancer before symptoms develop. It is intended for women who have no symptoms or breast concerns. A screening mammogram should be completed no sooner than 11 months and 1 day after your last screening mammogram. A diagnostic mammogram is performed when there is a specific breast concern, such as a lump, pain, nipple discharge, or an abnormal finding on a screening mammogram. This type of exam must be scheduled — please call if you need a diagnostic mammogram.
No, a referral or order is not necessary for patients aged 40 or older. However, we do require a healthcare provider's information on file in case follow-up care is needed.
Your screening mammogram should be scheduled at least 11 months and 1 day after your last mammogram. Most insurance providers will not cover the exam if it is done sooner.
If you still have menstrual cycles, we recommend scheduling your mammogram one week after your period when your breasts are less tender. This helps improve comfort during the exam.
If you are experiencing any of the following breast symptoms, please call us at (713) 797-1919 for scheduling:
If it has been at least 2 years since your diagnosis, then we can proceed to schedule online. If it has been less than 2 years, please call us at (713) 797-1919 for scheduling.
There is no problem performing mammograms with breast implants, but we need to be aware of any implants at the time of scheduling.
No, please avoid wearing deodorant, lotions, or powders on the day of your appointment. Deodorants, especially those containing aluminum, can mimic microcalcifications on the images, which could be mistaken for signs of cancer.
Please wear a two-piece outfit (a top and bottom). This makes it easier to remove your top while keeping your bottoms on during the exam.
If this is your first mammogram at one of our facilities, please bring any prior mammogram images and reports for comparison. This helps our radiologists detect any changes more accurately.
It is very important to provide accurate personal and family medical history. This information is essential for assessing your risk of breast cancer and ensuring the best possible care.
