Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prepare for my mammogram appointment?
On the day of your mammogram, wear a two-piece outfit and avoid using deodorants, powders, or lotions under your arms or on your breasts. These products can interfere with imaging. To schedule your gentle mammogram, book your appointment here.
What should I bring to my mammogram appointment?
Bring a valid photo ID and your insurance information. If this is your first visit, bring previous mammogram images if available. Learn more about our Painless mammogram services in Dallas.

Is this different from a “3D mammogram”?
Yes! A 3D mammogram (also called tomosynthesis) still uses compression, and takes images from a few different angles to generate a so-called “3D” image. The Painless Mammogram uses a computed tomography machine to obtain a true three dimensional image of the breast without the need for compression by spinning the detector completely around the entire breast. Think about it like looking at a slice of pie (3D mammogram or tomosynthesis) vs the entire pie (computed tomography, Koning vera).
Do I need to be worried about radiation exposure?
No, The Painless Mammogram uses the same amount of radiation as a traditional compression mammogram.
How often should I get The Painless Mammogram?
Most guidelines recommend yearly breast imaging for women beginning at age 40. For women at increased risk of breast cancer, talk to your doctor about your individual risk.
Can I get The Painless Mammogram if I have breast implants?
Absolutely. The Painless Mammogram is a great way to image breast implants because there is no compression and therefore no risk of implant rupture. Additionally, a traditional mammogram requires routine images in addition to implant push-back views, which doubles the radiation dose. With The Painless Mammogram, we are able to produce better images with half the radiation dose of a traditional mammogram.
Can I use HSA/FSA cards?
Absolutely! We accept HSA and FSA cards as well as all credit and debit cards
Do you accept insurance?
The Painless Mammogram is not currently covered by insurance.
