Mammography Services Saint Anthony's Health Center offers a special, private setting for mammography services through our Breast Health Services. Our registered mammography technologists not only provide women with compassionate care, they take time to fully explain the procedure and answer any questions or concerns. Examinations should be done at a time when your breasts are less likely to be tender. If you have a regular menstrual cycle, you should examine your breasts at the end of your period and your self-examination should be done on the same day of each month. If you have any questions about how to conduct a breast self-examination, please contact your physician.
Many women question their ability to detect a lump in their breasts.
