Frequently Asked Questions
Learn about what to expect during a women's imaging study and what the benefits are with our frequently asked questions.
In the United States, breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women. Annual screening mammograms are recommended for women over 40. If you have a family history or predisposition to breast cancer, it is recommended to start annual screening mammograms at 35. The early stages of breast cancer are a lot more treatable, which makes early detection and routine screening very important.
On average, two dimensional and three dimensional mammograms take about 15 – 20 minutes to complete. After the imaging study is complete, our subspecialized, breast imaging radiologists will create a report based on the results. Your physician will receive the results within 48 hours.
A mammogram comprises of a series of X-rays that capture images of your breast tissue. During a mammogram, your breasts are placed between two surfaces to evenly spread out the breast tissue. Then, an X-ray captures images of the breast tissue. During a three dimensional (3D) mammogram, three different angles are captured to achieve greater accuracy. During a two dimensional (2D) mammogram, two different angles are captured.
There is no special preparation for a mammogram. We recommend to wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing. Do not wear any deodorant, fragrances, moisturizer. Any type of topical substance can affect the quality of the images. Lastly, schedule your appointment during a time when your breasts are least sensitive.
When scheduling your mammogram, it is important to go to a full service, women's imaging center to remove the likelihood of false positives. Sometimes, mammograms require follow up imaging. South Jersey Radiology Associates offers diagnostic and advanced women's imaging services to provide high quality results in a timely manner.
Mammograms are not considered painful. During the mammogram, women may feel some discomfort. Mammograms are recommended to be done when your breast tissue is least tender. A mammogram should be scheduled at least five days before or after your menstrual period to avoid soreness and added discomfort.
Annual screening mammograms are covered by most health insurance plans. Health insurance providers consider annual screening mammograms a medically necessary preventative service. With this distinction, most health insurance providers cover annual screening mammograms for women over 40. For women with a family history of breast cancer, many health insurance providers will cover annual screening mammograms for women over 30.
