For patients with a family history of breast cancer or other risk factors, we offer specialized imaging protocols to ensure thorough evaluation. Additionally, we work closely with healthcare providers to support women who need follow-up imaging after an abnormal finding or previous breast procedure.

Your first visit to Houston Medical Imaging Women's Breast Center is designed to be as comfortable and straightforward as possible. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by our friendly staff and asked to complete a brief medical history form. Our technologists will then guide you through the imaging process, explaining each step and answering any questions you may have. For a screening mammogram, the process typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes. If you are coming in for a diagnostic exam or follow-up, your appointment may take a bit longer, as additional images or procedures may be needed. We encourage you to wear comfortable clothing and to avoid using deodorant or lotions on the day of your appointment, as these can affect image quality. Our team is here to ensure your experience is smooth, respectful, and tailored to your needs.
Question: What should I bring to my appointment?
Answer: Please bring a valid photo ID, your insurance card, and any prior breast imaging records you may have, especially if this is your first visit or if you are seeking a second opinion. If you have specific forms or referrals from your physician, please bring those as well. Having your previous images on hand can help our radiologists make the most accurate comparison and assessment.
Question: How often should I have a mammogram?
Answer: The recommended frequency for mammograms depends on your age, risk factors, and medical history. For most women, annual mammograms starting at age 40 are advised, but your healthcare provider may recommend a different schedule based on your individual needs. If you have a family history of breast cancer or other risk factors, you may be advised to start screening earlier or have exams more frequently. We encourage you to discuss your personal screening plan with your doctor to determine the best approach for you.
