Understanding Mammography
Mammography is a critical tool in detecting breast cancer and other conditions early — when they’re most treatable. At ThedaCare, we offer advanced imaging technology and experienced radiologists to ensure accurate results and compassionate care. Whether you’re scheduling a routine mammogram or following up on a concern, our breast imaging services are tailored to your needs.
Preparing for Your Mammogram
The morning of your exam, don’t use any deodorant, perfume, powders, ointments or lotions on your breasts or underarms since these may show up on the images. For your comfort, wear a two-piece outfit on the day of your mammogram. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your appointment time.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
The technologist will ask several questions about your individual risk factors. After you change into a gown, the technologist will help position your breast on the flat surface of the mammography unit. Your breast will be compressed as images are taken. This may cause minimal discomfort that only lasts for a few seconds.
The technologist will reposition you several times throughout the exam to obtain all required images. Your exam will take approximately 20 minutes.
Mammogram and Breast Imaging Results
A board-certified radiologist will review your images and provide the results to your ordering provider. You’ll be notified of results. If you have MyThedaCare, you can view and reference your results there as well. Your provider will contact you if you require any follow-up or additional testing.
