Mammography

Mammography is a low-dose X-ray that plays a vital role in the early detection of breast cancer—often identifying changes before symptoms appear. At Sol Radiology, our experienced breast imaging specialists combine advanced digital mammography with compassionate, patient-centered care to provide accurate, high-quality screening in a comfortable environment.

Every eligible screening mammogram includes Lunit INSIGHT MMG, an advanced artificial intelligence platform that provides a second review of your mammogram images alongside our expert radiologists. This AI-assisted technology supports earlier detection and greater diagnostic confidence—and, unlike some imaging centers that charge an additional fee for AI-enhanced mammography, Sol Radiology includes this technology at no additional cost.

What to Expect During Your Mammogram

A mammogram is a quick, low-dose X-ray exam that typically takes about 20 minutes. During the exam, each breast is gently compressed for a few seconds to obtain the clearest possible images. While some women experience mild discomfort, the compression is brief and is essential for producing accurate, high-quality images.

Our experienced technologists are committed to making your visit as comfortable as possible while ensuring exceptional image quality.

Mammography FAQs

How long does a mammogram take?

Your visit may take up to one hour, including check-in, registration, your mammogram, and any additional imaging that may be recommended. While many appointments are completed more quickly, we encourage patients to allow up to an hour for their visit to ensure a comfortable, unhurried experience.

Some women experience mild discomfort during the brief compression of the breast. The compression lasts only a few seconds and is necessary to obtain the clearest, most accurate images for interpretation.

On the day of your appointment, please do not wear deodorant, powder, lotion, perfume, or creams on your breasts or underarms. Wear a comfortable two-piece outfit and bring your photo ID, insurance card, and any previous mammogram records if they were performed at another facility.
