What is a screening mammogram?

A mammogram is an x-ray test of the breast (mammary glands) used to screen for breast problems, such as a lump. A mammogram is done to help screen for or detect breast cancer.

Mammograms are either used as a screening tool for early breast cancer detection or diagnostically for women experiencing symptoms:

  • Screening Mammography: Even if you have no signs or symptoms of the disease, screening mammograms are performed annually as a part of a regular preventative health care screening program to detect breast cancer in women as early as possible.
  • Diagnostic Mammography: If you have abnormal clinical findings, your doctor may recommend a diagnostic mammogram. Symptoms that could indicate breast disease include a lump, nipple discharge or skin dimpling.

Should I get a screening mammogram or a diagnostic mammogram?

If you are over 40 years old and have no symptoms or signs of breast cancer and are considered at average risk for breast cancer.

Diagnostic mammograms are used after suspicious results on a screening mammogram or after some signs of breast cancer alert the physician to check the tissue.

Such signs may include:

  • A lump
  • Breast pain
  • Nipple discharge
  • Thickening of skin on the breast
  • Changes in the size or shape of the breast
