This is the way they do it at my place. No waiting if you have a "diagnostic" mammogram, PET, CT etc prescription. In the beginning, I had scar on one side and a cyst on the other (different times) and I was in the next day for a digital mammo and ultrasound. So, some places do things differently.

For my normal once a year, if I need it in July, I have to call the end of May to stay on track (cuz its just a normal test and not "diagnostic").
