During a mammogram, compression helps create clear images of the breast so radiologists can look for changes that may be too small to see or feel.

It only lasts a few seconds at a time, but it plays an important role in finding breast cancer early.

If you’re due for breast screening, consider this your reminder to book.

Learn more at https://tbrhsc.net/programs-services/prevention-and-screening-clinical-services/screening/breast-cancer-screening/ or give us a call at (807) 684-7777.
