Understanding the Importance of

Regularly scheduled mammograms can save lives. At AdventHealth, we want to make sure you have the information you need to take charge of your breast health and stay on top of routine screenings.

What is Mammography?
Mammography is an X-ray examination of the breast. Mammograms make it possible to detect breast cancers, benign tumors and cysts before you can feel them. The latest digital and 3D mammography takes more detailed images, providing our board-certified radiologists with additional views of the breast that can reveal abnormalities sooner and with more clarity.
-
Are There Different Types of Mammograms?
Mammography may be used either for screening or to make a diagnosis. A screening mammogram is an X-ray of the breast used to detect breast changes when you have no signs of breast cancer. It usually involves two X-rays of each breast. A diagnostic mammogram is an X-ray of the breast used to diagnose unusual breast changes, such as a lump, pain, nipple thickening or discharge, or a change in breast size or shape.
-
When Should I Get a Mammogram?
Many factors determine when you should have a mammogram, such as your family history, risk factors and age. Screening mammograms are recommended at least every two years, starting between the ages of 40 and 50. Any woman over the age of 25 should have a diagnostic mammogram if she experiences any unusual breast symptoms. Otherwise, talk to your doctor to determine when and how often you should have a screening mammogram.
