Which Doctor Should You See for a Mammography?

Women who wish to undergo mammography cancer screening should consult a radiologist experienced in breast radiology. The breast radiologist's responsibility includes ensuring that the mammogram is of adequate quality, interpreting it, determining whether the findings indicate a benign or cancerous lesion, and recommending, planning, and performing additional tests if necessary.

Classifying a lesion according to the BIRADS category and performing a biopsy if necessary are also among the breast radiologist's responsibilities. The primary goal for women seeking screening is to choose an experienced breast radiologist they can trust and who they will follow for life.
