•Describe any breast symptoms or problems to the technologist performing the exam.

• If your prior mammograms were not performed at a GMC facility, please obtain the results and/or images and provide them to the radiologist at the time of the current exam.

•Follow-up with your physician to discuss the results of your mammogram.
