Importance
A diagnostic mammogram is a specialised breast imaging procedure used to investigate symptoms such as a new lump, nipple discharge, or changes detected during a screening mammogram.
Unlike routine screening, diagnostic mammography is tailored to focus on specific areas of concern, often involving additional views or magnification to provide greater detail.
This allows radiologists to closely examine breast tissue and determine whether further testing, such as ultrasound or biopsy, is needed. At Women’s & Breast Imaging, we use 3D tomosynthesis and Contrast enhanced Mammogram ( CEM) depending on the clinical indications and our experienced team ensures each diagnostic mammogram is performed with precision and care, helping you take informed steps toward your breast health.

Self-examination should be performed on a monthly basis by women over the age of 20; the best time is a week after menstruation.
