A member asked:
Does the mammography technician ask questions?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Usually: The tech will confirm your identity. She may ask about your coffee or chocolate consumption, when your LMP was. You will usually be asked to fill out a form asking about any history relating to the breasts. She will want to know if you have detected any new lumps.

Yes: She may go over your breast health history, for example if you have had a prior biopsy, and your family history of breast cancer. She may ask when and where you had previous mammograms. Also she will verify your identity.
