Mammography

Digital mammography for accurate breast cancer screening

Digital mammography is the gold standard imaging tool for breast cancer screening — using low-dose X-ray to detect tumours, microcalcifications and other changes in breast tissue before they cause symptoms. Our state-of-the-art digital mammography suite delivers high-quality imaging with radiologist reporting.

3D mammography (tomosynthesis) is available for improved detection in dense breast tissue — reducing both false positives and false negatives compared to 2D mammography alone.

Key Benefits

Digital mammography with immediate high-resolution imaging

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 2D and 3D mammography?

3D mammography (tomosynthesis) takes multiple images from different angles to create a layered view — it detects more cancers in dense tissue and reduces false positive callbacks.

Do I need a referral for mammography?

Not for routine screening — you can book directly; diagnostic mammography following a clinical finding is referred by your physician.
