A mammography scan is a specialised X-ray imaging test used to examine breast tissue for abnormalities, including lumps and early signs of breast cancer.

Mammography is used to screen for breast cancer in women and to investigate breast symptoms such as lumps, pain, or nipple discharge.

Generally, no special preparation is required. Avoid using deodorants, perfumes, or powders on the day of the exam since they can interfere with image quality.

Some women may experience slight discomfort or pressure when the breast is compressed during the scan, but the procedure is usually brief and well-tolerated.

A typical mammography appointment takes about 15–30 minutes, depending on the views needed and any additional imaging required.

The images are reviewed by a radiologist, and results are generally available within 24–48 hours, though this can vary by facility.

Routine mammography is often recommended beginning around age 40 or earlier for those with higher risk, but specific timing should be discussed with your doctor.

Mammography uses low-dose X-rays; however, it’s usually avoided during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary and recommended by a doctor.
