This means that even if you have a limited plan, your mammogram will usually be covered by Medical Aid. The cash price for a mammogram is about R1612.50.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Mammogram procedure<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span>The radiographer (x-ray technician) will position each breast in the machine and take pictures. It takes less than 60 seconds in total. The digital images are sent immediately to the radiologist (x-ray doctor) who will look at the images, compare them to previous mammograms and determine whether there are any abnormalities. The radiologist will then perform a breast ultrasound on the patient. This also ensures personal contact between the radiologist and patient and gives the doctor a chance to discuss with the patient their history, mammogram findings, and any concerns they may have.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>If you are looking for a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kemptonparkmammography.co.za\/\"><span>mammogram near me<\/span><\/a><span>, please visit https:\/\/www.kemptonparkmammography.co.za\/<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This article was first published at https:\/\/topclickblogs.co.za\/what-to-expect-when-you-go-for-your-mammogram\/<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/?attachment_id=125496\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt width=\"808\" height=\"632\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-125496 size-full lazyload\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/what-to-expect-when-you-go-for-your-mammogram.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-125496 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/what-to-expect-when-you-go-for-your-mammogram.jpg\" alt width=\"808\" height=\"632\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Video:<\/strong> What To Expect When You Go For Your Mammogram<\/p>\n<p><strong>More Info on What To Expect When You Go For Your Mammogram here:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/topclickblogs.co.za\/what-to-expect-when-you-go-for-your-mammogram\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/topclickblogs.co.za\/what-to-expect-when-you-go-for-your-mammogram\/<\/a><br \/><strong>Twitter<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/topclickmediasa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/topclickmediasa<\/a><br \/><strong>Facebook<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/topclickmediaSA\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/topclickmediaSA\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/save-with-myprs-monthly-flat-fee\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views since 1 July 2022:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">53<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/what-to-expect-when-you-go-for-your-mammogram\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
