It may be more difficult to view breast tissue when implants are present. Special positioning and possibly additional images are required. If you have implants, please contact your doctor for a referral to a diagnostic imaging office near you.

The presence of breast implants makes the demonstration of the breast tissue a little more difficult. Therefore, it is recommended that women with breast implants be referred by their doctors to a diagnostic mammography office in order that additional and special x-rays can be done, if required.
