Override the instructions or guidance of any healthcare facility or medical team providing you with care
3. NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE
Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for advice relating to your individual health circumstances.
If you have specific breast symptoms, concerns, a personal or family history of breast cancer, abnormal imaging results, or any other medical concern, you must seek advice from your treating doctor, specialist, or healthcare provider. No amount of general educational content replaces a personalised clinical consultation.

Deciding whether or not to attend a mammogram or other medical appointment
Delaying or avoiding medical care
Self-diagnosing any condition
Discontinuing or altering any treatment plan prescribed by your healthcare provider
Replacing the instructions given to you by the facility where your mammogram will be performed

Mammography practices, protocols, equipment, procedures, terminology, and patient experiences vary significantly between mammography facilities, healthcare systems, regions, and countries.
The content produced under Ask a Mammographer reflects the professional experience and practices of the specific mammography environment in which the creator has worked. It does not represent a universal, standardised, or internationally applicable clinical protocol.
Specific details — including but not limited to compression levels, positioning techniques, communication practices, reporting timelines, call-back procedures, and facility layout — may differ at the facility where you receive your mammogram. Always follow the specific instructions provided by your imaging centre or healthcare facility.
