What happens when I visit BreastScreen NSW – Sydney West?
You will be greeted by a receptionist, who will give you relevant forms to complete and return. You will be shown to a private change room so you can remove your bra and put your shirt back on. You will be taken into the mammography room by a female radiographer who will do the test. The radiographer will carefully position you and quickly take the X-rays. Generally two pictures will be taken of each breast. For women with larger breasts, some extra pictures may be required. Each x-ray only takes a few seconds.
