Mammography FAQs: what to expect, when to screen, and how to prepare

Answers to common mammogram questions—timing, comfort, preparation, results, and insurance—so you can schedule with confidence.

Most women benefit from starting routine screening at age 40. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends screening every 2 years from 40 to 74. Talk with your clinician about your personal risk to choose the schedule that’s right for you.
A technologist positions each breast on the imaging unit and applies brief compression to get clear pictures—usually a few seconds per image. The exam typically takes 15–20 minutes, and most people can return to normal activity right away.
3D mammography creates thin image slices that can make small cancers easier to see and can reduce unnecessary callbacks, particularly in dense breasts.
Schedule when your breasts are least tender, if possible. On exam day, avoid deodorant, powders, or lotions on the chest/underarms, and bring prior images if done outside Intermountain. Wear a two‑piece outfit for convenience.
Most plans cover screening mammograms with no out‑of‑pocket cost. Diagnostic studies may have coinsurance or deductibles. If you’re uninsured, ask about self‑pay pricing and financial assistance.
