Did you know that many deodorants, antiperspirants, powders, and lotions contain tiny traces of aluminum or other minerals?
On a mammogram, these particles can show up as white spots that look very similar to calcium deposits (calcifications). This can lead to:
▶Inconclusive results.
▶Unnecessary stress.
▶Being called back for additional imaging.
The Fix: Arrive with clean, dry skin from the waist up.
