Ask what they do to ensure quality before you go for the procedure. If they don't have such a program, find another center. A physical examination of the breasts by a trained nurse or qualified physician must accompany the mammogram. Before you go, however, you'll need to see your doctor, who will indicate any concerns he or she has on your mammogram requisition. Don't put any talcum powder, deodorant, or lotion on your upper body the day you're scheduled.
Little flecks can get on the plates and interfere with the results.
