About this test

An X-ray picture of the breast. The breast is pressed gently between flat plates while a machine takes images, usually from above and from the side. It is performed on women.

It shows the structure of breast tissue and can reveal lumps or tiny calcium spots too small to feel. It is the usual imaging test doctors use to screen for breast cancer in women.

What US screening guidelines say

The US Preventive Services Task Force is an independent US panel whose recommendations cover people without symptoms. Shown for comparison; it is not advice for you.

Mammography
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends biennial screening mammography for women aged 40 to 74 years. (2024) · USPSTF ↗ Note: The USPSTF breast cancer screening statement does not apply to people at high risk of breast cancer (for example BRCA1/2 carriers or others with a high-risk genetic marker or syndrome, people who had high-dose chest radiation at a young age, or people with previous breast cancer or a high-risk breast lesion).
Insufficient evidence (grade I)The USPSTF says the evidence is insufficient to weigh the benefits and harms of screening mammography in women 75 years or older. (2024) · USPSTF ↗ Note: The USPSTF breast cancer screening statement does not apply to people at high risk of breast cancer (for example BRCA1/2 carriers or others with a high-risk genetic marker or syndrome, people who had high-dose chest radiation at a young age, or people with previous breast cancer or a high-risk breast lesion).

Typical dose about 0.28 mSv (range 0.1–0.6).

Before this test

This is general information about how the exam is usually done, not medical advice for you or your family member. Requirements vary by center and by individual health history — always follow the center's own instructions and your own doctor's guidance, especially for any medicine change.

Usually asks that you skip deodorant, powder or lotion on the underarms and breasts, since these can look like calcium spots on the image. Bring prior mammograms from elsewhere if you have them.

Mention when booking: Mention breast implants, any breast symptoms, prior breast surgery, hormone use, or the possibility of pregnancy.

Afterwards: You may be asked to wait until the radiologist confirms the images are complete; ask when to expect results.
