Mammogram Preparation

• Preparation for your x-ray exam will depend on the type of exam.
• Notify staff if you are nursing or if there is a chance you could be pregnant.
• Please bring previous imaging study results (x-ray, MRI, CT, etc.) such as reports, films or CD-roms if available.
• Please arrive 15 minutes early to verify your registration.

During your exam – what to expect

• Conventional radiography (x-ray) is a simple, painless procedure that enables the radiologist to analyze the bony and soft tissue anatomy for diagnosis. The average x-ray study takes 15-20 minutes.

What happens after the exam?

• A radiologist who specializes in a specific area of the body will review your images (i.e., a musculoskeletal radiologist will review x-rays of your leg).
• The radiologist prepares a diagnostic report to share with your doctor.
• Your doctor will consider this information in context of your overall care, and talk with you about the results.
