To help minimize discomfort during mammography, schedule your mammogram one week after your period (when breasts are less tender).

• No Mammogram or X ray for pregnant women
• Bring your previous mammogram report with you on day of appointment.
• On the day of the examination, do not apply talcum powder, deodorant, lotion or perfume under your arms or on your breasts. These substances can cause artifacts on your mammogram.
• Wear an easily removable outfit, any jewellery worn (especially earrings or necklaces) should be easily and quickly removable.
• Any breast symptoms or problems that a woman is experiencing should be described to the technologist performing the examination. A woman should also be prepared to discuss with the mammography technologist any pertinent history: prior surgeries, hormone use, family or personal history of breast cancer. Prior to mammography a woman should also discuss any new findings or problems in her breasts with her clinician.
