Ever wonder why age 40 is the number you hear so often? The American College of Radiology and Society of Breast Imaging recommend routine mammography screening beginning at age 40 — because that's when regular screening has been shown to make the biggest difference in catching changes early.
Keeping to that yearly rhythm matters too: it tends to catch changes sooner, when there's more options in how they're addressed.
At CRL Women's Imaging, we make it easy to stay on schedule — book your appointment, and feel free to bring a friend along if that makes it easier.
