Get the Facts

Mammography is a specific type of imaging that uses a low-dose X-ray system for examination of the breasts. It allows a radiologist to identify differences between a normal breast and one that may show signs of cancer.

When to Get One
Women in their 20s and 30s should have a clinical breast examination as part of a periodic health exam by a medical professional every three years. After age 40, women should have a breast exam by a health professional every year. The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force recommends that women ages 50 to 74 should get a mammogram every two years.

The risk of getting breast cancer increases with age, so as long as a woman is in good health, she should continue getting routine mammograms. Young women at high risk for breast cancer should discuss with their doctors if earlier screenings are necessary.

Questions to Ask
The following are suggestions for ensuring you will receive a quality mammogram:
• Ask to see the FDA certificate issued to all facilities that meet high professional standards of safety and quality.
• Use a facility that either specializes in mammography or performs mammograms often.
• Bring a list of the places, dates of mammograms, biopsies, or other breast treatments you may have had before.
