Breast Imaging Service Referral

We provide screening mammography and diagnostic breast imaging and procedures.

Screening mammograms - no referral needed

Screening mammograms are available to most women and many Two-Spirit, trans and non-binary individuals who are 40 years and older, with no symptoms.     

Visit BC Cancer Breast Screening for more information and to book an appointment. Patients do not need a referral for this service. They will need a primary care provider or clinic to ensure appropriate follow-up and management of results. 

Diagnostic service - referral needed

​Primary care providers must complete and submit a diagnostic referral form indicating the clinical findings that need further assessment.
