What is a Mammogram?
A mammogram is an X-ray examination of the breast used to detect and diagnose breast diseases in women. It is the most effective method for early detection of breast cancer, often identifying tumors that cannot be felt and detecting breast cancer at its earliest stages.

Importance of Regular Mammograms
Regular mammograms are essential for early detection and treatment of breast cancer. Early detection significantly increases the chances of successful treatment and can save lives. The American Cancer Society recommends that women start getting annual mammograms at age 40, but those with a higher risk of breast cancer may need to start earlier.
Preparing for Your Mammogram
Here are a few tips to help you prepare for your mammogram at Mega Scan Centre:
-
Schedule Your Appointment: Try to schedule your mammogram for one week after your period, when your breasts are least likely to be tender.
-
Avoid Certain Products: On the day of your mammogram, avoid using deodorants, antiperspirants, powders, lotions, or perfumes under your arms or on your breasts. These can appear as white spots on the X-ray.
-
Inform Us: Let us know if you have any breast symptoms or problems, have had previous mammograms, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
What to Expect During the Mammogram
During the mammogram, you will stand in front of a special X-ray machine. Your breast will be placed on a clear plate, and another plate will firmly press down on your breast from above. The plates will flatten the breast to get a clear picture. You may feel some pressure, but the procedure usually takes only a few minutes.
After the Mammogram
After your mammogram, you can resume your normal activities immediately. Our radiologists will review the images and provide a detailed report to your doctor, who will discuss the results with you. If any abnormalities are detected, further testing may be recommended.
