Mammography
Digital mammography is a safe, low-dose x-ray picture of the breast that allows early detection of breast cancer. We have 2 state-of-the-art digital mammography units, which are accredited by the Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) Mammography Accreditation Program (MAP)
Screening Recommendations
- Yearly mammograms are recommended starting at age 40 and continuing for as long as a woman is in good health
- Clinical breast exam (CBE) about every 3 years for women in their 20s and 30s and every year for women 40 and over
- Women should know how their breasts normally look and feel and report any breast change promptly to their health care provider. Breast self-exam (BSE) is an option for women starting in their 20s.
