- Czech
- Screeningová mamografie
Breast X-ray imaging.
Before your appointment
Confirm screening eligibility and provide previous mammograms. A new lump or other symptom needs a diagnostic pathway rather than routine screening.
Time, hospital stay & appointments
Times are planning guides, not national averages or guaranteed schedules. They reflect published provider examples and patient guidance. The treating team confirms the individual plan, time needed near the clinic and fitness to travel. Waiting lists are not included.
- Procedure or course duration
- The appointment includes positioning and breast compression; reporting follows separately.
- Hospital stay
- Usually outpatient, without an overnight stay for the test itself. Preparation or additional tests may extend attendance.
- Visits and repeat attendance
- Plan one attendance for the test and a results discussion. The referral assessment and any repeat or additional tests may require separate visits; ask whether results can be discussed remotely.
- Recovery and travel planning
- Some results lead to a recall for additional views, ultrasound or biopsy. A recall does not by itself mean cancer.
