Clients must be aged 40 years and over; have not had a mammogram in the last year; not be pregnant and not be breastfeeding. It is recommended that clients doing mammograms wears a two-piece outfit, which will allow only the top to be removed for the test. No talcum powder should be on or around the breast area.
