Mobile Mammography at the Livery Stables

The mobile mammography unit from St. Thomas Health will be available for insured and uninsured women from 9am to 3pm. Women who wish to be screened must meet the following criteria:

• at or over the age of 40
• not experiencing any breast problems (pain, lump, etc.)
• not being followed by a physician for breast problems
• not pregnant
• not breastfeeding
• a year since last screening mammogram

How to prepare for your mammogram:
Tell your health professional if you:

• have breast implants. Breast implants require a modified mammogram method.
• have previously had a benign breast biopsy. Knowing the location of scar tissue will help the radiologist read your mammogram accurately

On the day of your mammogram:

• wear a two-piece outfit to easily undress above the waist
• do not use any deodorant, perfume, powders, or ointments on your breasts. The residue left on your skin by these substances may interfere with the X-rays.
