A mammogram is an X-ray examination of the breast. It is used to detect and diagnose breast disease in women who either have breast problems, such as a lump, pain or nipple discharge, change in breast size or shape. The procedure allows for early detection of breast cancers, benign tumors and cysts.
Our women's imaging center features the most advanced and state-of-the-art mammography systems such as the GE Senographe Pristina.

About the Ontario Breast Screening Program
The Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP) is a province-wide, organized cancer screening program dedicated to providing high-quality breast screening services for women. Our goal is to ensure that eligible women have access to regular mammograms for the early detection of breast cancer, increasing their chances of successful treatment and recovery.
Benefits of Breast Cancer Screening:
-
Getting screened regularly with mammography is important because it can find cancer early, when it is less likely to have spread to other parts of the body. Treatment may also have a better chance of working when breast cancer is found early.
-
When breast cancer is found early, almost all people will survive for 5 years. However, if breast cancer is found later, only 2 out of 10 people will survive for 5 years.
Eligibility:
The OBSP recommends that most eligible women, trans and nonbinary people ages 50 to 74 get screened with mammography every 2 years. People ages 50 to 74 are eligible for screening through the OBSP if they:
-
have no new breast cancer symptoms
-
have no personal history of breast cancer
-
have no current breast implants
-
have not had a mastectomy
-
have not had a screening mammogram within the last 11 months
