  • What is a mammogram?
    A mammogram is an X-ray picture of the breast that can be used to check for breast cancer in women, even if they have no signs or symptoms of the disease. Screening mammograms usually involve two or more X-ray pictures
    of each breast. The images often make it possible to detect tumors that cannot be felt. Screening mammograms can also find micro calcifications (tiny deposits of calcium) that sometimes indicate the presence of breast cancer.
    What is 3D mammography?
    Three-dimensional (3D) mammography, also known as digital breast tomosynthesis, is the latest mammogram technology being used for breast cancer screening.
    How does 3D mammography work?
    A 3D scan takes a series of X-rays of the breast from different angles, creating a three-dimensional image of the breast. The breast is positioned and compressed in
    the same way as a conventional mammogram, but because of the 3D view, tomosynthesis has been shown to decrease the number of women who need additional mammogram views to evaluate a possible abnormality.

  • COVID-19 vaccines may cause lymph nodes in the armpit to swell, especially on the side where the shot was administered. The swollen lymph nodes are nothing to worry about, but they may look like a lump in a mammogram image.

    For this reason, you may want to wait four to six weeks after vaccination before having a routine screening mammogram.

    If you’re having a mammogram because of a new breast symptom or abnormal check, don’t delay. It’s important to have these kinds of mammograms as soon as possible, regardless of vaccine date.
