Getting a callback after a mammogram can be unsettling, but it doesn't automatically mean you have breast cancer. Often, radiologists simply need more information, such as additional mammogram views or an ultrasound, to get a clearer picture.

Depending on your results, follow-up testing may include a diagnostic mammogram, ultrasound or, in some cases, a breast MRI or biopsy. Breast density can also make mammograms more difficult to read and may affect screening recommendations.

The most important thing to remember: don't skip your annual mammogram. Regular screenings, along with annual wellness visits and attention to any new breast symptoms, play an important role in protecting your breast health.

Regular mammograms can help detect breast cancer early, when treatment may be most effective, so don't let this screening pass you by.

Most women should begin regular mammograms at age 40, but personal and family history may affect your screening needs. Knowing your risk factors can help you make informed decisions.
At Emory Healthcare, we want to partner with you to ensure you stay proactive about recommended screenings. And if follow-up care is ever needed, you'll have access to experts at Winship Cancer Institute.
