In Preparation for your Visit:

One business day prior to your visit, CMIC will call you to confirm your appointment.

Bring your medical insurance information with you.

Mammograms are low dose X-rays of the breast which help your doctor check for early signs of breast cancer. Mammography can show breast tissue changes up to two years before you or your doctor can feel them.

Current guidelines from the American Medical Association and the American College of Radiology recommend that beginning at age 35, women receive annual mammograms. Most screening mammograms can be completed in 30 minutes.

If you have questions or would like more information about Mammography at CMIC, please call (207) 795-2030.
