Patients have a number of alternatives they can choose from when seeking a mammogram. But there is one very important thing to remember, your mammogram is only as good as the mammography facility you go to and the physician who interprets your results.

When you are selecting a mammography facility, you need to make sure the facility is certified by the FDA. This means that the facility, its equipment and staff are regularly inspected to ensure they are meeting specific standards for quality care.

You may also want to consider whether or not the facility specializes in mammography as the focus of their care. These types of facilities usually have a higher volume of patients, which in turn means they often have the best equipment and most highly experienced technologists and radiologists on staff. Experience and skill are essential in breast imaging.
