Mammography

Digital mammography is a safe computerized medical imaging technique, that uses X-rays in low doses, to obtain a high resolution image of the internal structure of the breast. This allows the detection of benign or malignant tumors and changes in breast tissue.

Role of the Radiologist

Examination duration **15 to 20 minutes * If there are mammary prostheses, the examination may last up to 40 minutes.**

Examinations COVERED by the RAMQ

PREPARATION

No deodorant, antiperspirant, powder or lotion under the arms or breasts.

Avoiding beverages and foods containing caffeine (cola, coffee, chocolate, tea) for 5-7 days before the mammography may help reduce the discomfort and sensitivity of the breast. If you wish, you may take a Tylenol or Advil tablet an hour before the exam, to reduce sensitivity during compression.

It is best not to have a mammography 7 to 10 days before menstruation due to an increased sensitivity of the breasts during this period.

When you have already had a mammography in another center, it is important to bring with you a CD with the images of your previous exams, if possible. This will help the radiologist, in comparing the images and, if necessary, preventing having other examinations.
