Hours and directions to the laboratory What to bring

What mammography can show

Mammography uses low-dose X-rays to make breast images. A doctor may request it to investigate a breast concern or as part of screening; your referral identifies the reason for your examination.

What to expect

For each view, the breast is placed on the imaging surface and gently compressed for a few seconds. Compression helps make a clear image and can feel uncomfortable, but it is brief.

Prepare for your examination

Bring — your referral, photo identification, and any relevant earlier breast images or reports.
On the day — do not use deodorant, powder, lotion or perfume on your breasts or underarms unless Medilab gives different instructions.
Tell the team — about a new breast symptom, breast implant, prior breast surgery, pregnancy or possible pregnancy.

Your radiology visit

Mammography is available as a walk-in radiology service. Bring the referral that names the requested examination, and ask Medilab about any examination-specific preparation before your visit.

Results and payment

Ask the radiology team how your report will be provided and discuss the result with the doctor who referred you. Our laboratory test list shows insurance coverage for laboratory tests; confirm mammography coverage with Medilab and your insurer before the examination.
