WDMH is a digital CAR-accredited mammography site.
We offer Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP) self-referral screening mammograms on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Physician-referred screening and diagnostic mammograms are performed on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
A mammogram is an x-ray image of the breast used to detect breast cancer in individuals who have no symptoms. This is called a screening mammogram, and typically includes two images of each breast.
Diagnostic mammography is used to evaluate abnormal clinical findings such as a breast lump, nipple discharge, or new pain. It may also be performed following an abnormal screening result. Diagnostic exams are often paired with a breast ultrasound to help rule out cancer.
Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP)
The OBSP is a province-wide, organized breast screening program offering high-quality breast cancer screening.
No requisition is required from your physician, but you must be between the ages of 40 and 74 and have no prior history of breast cancer.
To book an OBSP screening mammogram, please call 613-774-2420 ext. 6260 if you have not had a mammogram in the past year.
