Memorial Breast Care Services: Diagnostic vs. Screening Mammograms
Juliana Rosenblat, MD, Breast Imaging Radiologist, explains the difference between diagnostic and screening mammograms, both are essentially X-rays. A screening mammogram is an initial, general screening to detect breast cancer. It is recommended that women have a screening mammogram regularly beginning at age 40. A diagnostic mammogram is conducted when breast cancer symptoms are present or if something that may indicate cancer is seen during a screening mammogram.
