Women should begin routine annual mammography screenings at age 40, according to guidelines by the American College of Radiology and Society of Breast Imaging (ACR/SBI). Breast cancer screening guidelines vary on the initiation age for mammograms (40 versus 45 versus 50 years of age) and screening frequency (annual versus biennial).
