Mammography
Before
You do not need to fast for this test.
The radiomanipulator will take the time to talk with the patient and reassure her about the examination. To facilitate mammography, it's important to relax and cooperate with the health-care professional, so as to reduce the pain felt during compression. Following the manipulator's advice can make the examination more comfortable.
Remember, compression lasts only a few seconds.
If you have sensitive breasts:
Ask to be examined within 10 days of the start of your period.
Pregnant women
Please do not use any cream on your breasts on the day of the exam.
On the day of the examination, you will need to :
Bring any previous examinations you have had outside the Centre Becquerel (mammography, ultrasound, breast MRI).
Bring your up-to-date carte vitale, your health insurance card and your CHB identification card, if applicable.
