The Basics

What is a mammogram?

A mammogram uses a low dose of X-ray to look inside the breast and find changes years before they can be felt. Because it can see very small calcifications and subtle shifts from one year to the next, it remains the single most effective way to catch breast cancer early, when it is most treatable.

A screening mammogram is routine imaging for women with no symptoms. A diagnostic mammogram is used when there is a symptom, or to take a closer look at something seen on a screening study. Women across Glendale come to us for both, and the great majority of results are completely normal, which is exactly why keeping the appointment each year is worth it.

FAQs

Questions about mammograms.

Most major guidelines support a screening mammogram once a year for women at average risk. If you have a family history, dense tissue or a prior finding, your physician may recommend a different schedule.
Annual screening generally begins at age 40 for women at average risk. Women with a strong family history or a known genetic mutation often start earlier, your physician's recommendation takes priority.
Compression lasts only a few seconds per image, and most patients describe it as brief pressure rather than pain. Our technologists work at your pace and you can ask to pause at any time.
A screening mammogram is routine imaging for women with no symptoms. A diagnostic mammogram is performed when there is a symptom, such as a lump or discharge, or to take a closer look at something seen on a screening study.
