Do’s:
• Continue with your normal diet on the day of the scan.
• Wear loose-fitting clothing without metal (zippers, hooks, snaps).
• Inform your doctor if you’ve had any imaging tests with contrast (e.g., barium or nuclear medicine) recently.

 Don’ts:
• Avoid calcium supplements for 24 hours before the test.
• Don’t wear metal jewelry or accessories near the scan area.
• Avoid scheduling the scan within 1–2 weeks after contrast imaging.

 Before the Test:
• Schedule smart: Try to schedule your test a week after your period when breasts are less tender.
• Avoid using deodorants, lotions, powders, or perfumes on your chest or underarms on the day of the test. These can show up on the X-ray and affect the results.
• Wear a two-piece outfit: You’ll need to remove your top and bra for the test, so wearing a top and bottom makes things easier.
• Bring previous mammograms or reports if you’ve had one before, for comparison.

Inform your doctor or technician if:
• You are pregnant or think you might be.
• You are breastfeeding.
• You have breast implants, as special techniques may be needed.
