Digital Mammogram & Ultrasound
Combined price for both tests, Only if needed.
Examination Description
A Digital Mammogram is a useful simple examination which provides important information of the state of breasts when you are concerned that you have changes in the feeling and appearance and/or have other more clearcut symptoms and signs. What to expect during a mammogram: You will be asked to remove any deodorant, lotion, or powders from underarms and chest, as these can interfere with the images. Preferably, as preparation, do not apply any talcum powder or deodorant. Our radiographer will help you position one breast at a time on the mammography machine. They will adjust your breast and compress it between two plates to get clear images. This compression, while potentially uncomfortable although never painful, lasts only a few seconds and is necessary for accurate images. The machine will capture x-ray images from different angles. Each breast usually requires two images ( top to bottom and side to side). Once the images are taken, the radiographer will check them for clarity. The whole process typically lasts about 15 minutes. Preparation: Please do not apply any talcum powder or deodorant. Mammograms detect about 84% of breast cancers in women without symptoms. Preparation: Please do not apply any talcum powder or deodorant.
