Prioritize Your Breast Health with Routine Mammogram Screening

Regular mammogram screenings play an important role in maintaining breast health and detecting potential concerns before symptoms develop. Early detection gives patients and their healthcare providers more information to guide treatment decisions and may improve outcomes.

At XRANM in Albuquerque, we provide advanced digital mammography and 3D mammography (tomosynthesis) in a comfortable, patient-focused environment. Our experienced breast imaging specialists are committed to delivering accurate results with compassionate care.

What Is a Screening Mammogram?

A screening mammogram is a preventive imaging exam that uses low-dose X-rays to examine breast tissue for early signs of breast cancer or other abnormalities. It is intended for individuals who are not experiencing breast symptoms and is an important part of routine preventive healthcare.

If you have a lump, breast pain, nipple discharge, or other symptoms, your healthcare provider may recommend a diagnostic mammogram instead.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

During your mammogram, each breast is gently positioned and briefly compressed to obtain clear, high-quality images. Compression lasts only a few seconds for each image and is necessary to produce the most accurate results while minimizing radiation exposure.

Your technologist will guide you through every step of the exam to ensure your comfort throughout the process.

Understanding Your Results

A board-certified breast imaging radiologist will review your mammogram and prepare a detailed report for your healthcare provider.

Most screening mammograms are normal. If additional imaging is recommended, it does not necessarily mean cancer is present. Follow-up testing is often performed to obtain more detailed images or clarify an area of concern.
