Preparing For Your Mammogram
DO's and DON'Ts in preparation of your Mammogram
X
DO NOT WEAR deodorant or powders under your arms on the day of your mammogram (these can mimic calcifications of your images)
X
DO NOT USE powders, lotions, creams or perfumes under your breasts for one week prior to your mammogram (metallic particles in powders and lotions could be visible on your mammogram and cause confusion)
X
DO NOT CONSUME caffeine or coffee for three days prior to your exam (this will help your breasts be less tender).
DO
WRITE DOWN any symptoms, medication and medical treatments that you have had on your breasts and report it to our staff at your appointment.
DO
BRING YOUR DOCUMENTS.
You will be required to present your Driver's License or Photo I.D. and currently active Health Insurance I.D. Card. Failure to provide these documents will result in the patient being billed the full amount for the mammogram.
