Diagnostic Mammogram

What is a Diagnostic Mammogram?
Additional films of the breast, beyond the standard 2-view screening exam, may be performed to clarify a questionable finding on the initial study or focus on a site where the patient or physician feels a lump or thickening of the breast tissue. This may include films taken from different angles, magnification views, or compression of a small area of the breast to maximize detail. If needed, an ultrasound exam of the breast may also be added to the diagnostic study. A physician (radiologist) personally selects the diagnostic views to be obtained and reviews the results during the exam with the technologist. 

Note: an order from your physician is required to perform this exam. 

How Will I Learn The Results?
The radiologist or technologist will discuss the results of the diagnostic study with the patient at the conclusion of the exam.
