Digital Mammography

Advanced breast cancer screening using low-dose digital mammography – accurate, comfortable, and fast, with high-quality images for early detection.

Overview

Early detection saves lives.

Digital mammography is the gold standard for breast cancer screening – a low-dose X-ray examination that produces high-resolution images of the breast tissue. It is the most effective tool for detecting breast cancer early, often years before a lump can be felt, when treatment is most successful. At Amytri Diagnostics, we use state-of-the-art digital mammography systems that offer superior image quality, faster acquisition, and lower radiation doses compared to traditional film mammography.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, and early detection is the key to survival. Digital mammography can detect microcalcifications, masses, and other subtle changes that may indicate cancer – even in women with dense breast tissue. Our advanced technology ensures clear, detailed images, allowing our radiologists to identify abnormalities with confidence.

At Amytri, we prioritise your comfort and privacy. Our compassionate team ensures a comfortable experience, and our digital mammography system is designed to minimise compression time and discomfort. All images are interpreted by experienced radiologists, and reports are shared with your gynaecologist or physician for seamless care.

What digital mammography covers

  • Screening Mammography – routine screening for women with no symptoms
  • Diagnostic Mammography – for women with breast symptoms (lump, pain, nipple discharge)
  • Evaluation of microcalcifications – early signs of breast cancer
  • Characterisation of breast masses – size, shape, margins, and calcifications
  • BI‑RADS Categorisation – standardised reporting for clear communication
  • Comparison with previous mammograms – for monitoring changes over time
  • Tomosynthesis (3D Mammography) – advanced imaging for dense breasts (if available)
  • Breast Density Assessment – evaluating breast composition for risk stratification
Why it matters

Essential for early breast cancer detection.

When breast cancer is found early, the 5-year survival rate is over 95%. Regular mammography is your best defense – detecting cancer before you feel a lump.

Detection

Detect cancer up to 2 years early

Mammography can detect microcalcifications and masses years before they become palpable – enabling early, less aggressive treatment.

Monitoring

Track changes over time

Comparing current and previous mammograms helps identify subtle changes that may indicate early cancer – even if the current images appear normal.

Prevention

Prevent advanced breast cancer

Early detection means less aggressive treatment, better outcomes, and a higher quality of life. Regular screening saves lives – and breasts.

What we offer

Advanced digital mammography services.

We provide comprehensive mammography services – from screening to diagnostic imaging – with advanced technology and expert interpretation.

Screening Mammography

Routine screening for asymptomatic women – typically recommended annually or biennially from age 40. Quick, comfortable, and highly accurate for early detection.

Diagnostic Mammography

For women with breast symptoms – lumps, pain, nipple discharge, or skin changes. Diagnostic mammography uses additional views and spot compression for detailed evaluation.

BI‑RADS Reporting

We use the standardised Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI‑RADS) to categorise findings – from 0 (incomplete) to 6 (biopsy-proven cancer) – ensuring clear communication with your doctor.

3D Mammography (Tomosynthesis)

Advanced imaging that creates 3D images of the breast, improving detection in women with dense breast tissue and reducing false positives.

Breast Density Assessment

We evaluate and report breast density – dense breasts have higher cancer risk and may require additional screening (ultrasound or MRI).

Comparison with Prior Studies

We compare current mammograms with previous ones – detecting subtle changes that may indicate early cancer even without obvious abnormalities.

How it works

Your mammography journey, step by step.

01
Prepare

Preparation

Avoid deodorant, powder, or lotion on the day of the exam – they can appear as calcifications on the images. Schedule your mammogram when your breasts are least tender (usually 1–2 weeks after your period).

02
Image

Image acquisition

You stand in front of the mammography machine. The technologist positions your breast between two plates and applies gentle compression for a few seconds. The process is repeated for both breasts and additional views if needed.

03
Interpret

Radiologist interpretation

Our experienced radiologist reviews the high-resolution digital images, evaluates for any abnormalities, and assigns a BI‑RADS category for clear communication with your doctor.

04
Report

Report and follow‑up

Your report is shared with you and your gynaecologist/physician within 24–48 hours. We provide clear explanations and recommend further steps – whether it's routine follow-up, additional imaging, or biopsy.

Is it for you?

Digital mammography is recommended for women aged 40+.

Regular screening mammography is the most effective way to detect breast cancer early – and it could save your life.

Age 40+ (routine screening)

Annual or biennial mammography is recommended for all women starting at age 40 – even with no symptoms or family history.

Family history of breast cancer

If your mother, sister, or daughter has had breast cancer, start screening earlier (10 years before the age of diagnosis in your relative).

Palpable lump or breast changes

Any new lump, skin changes, nipple discharge, or persistent pain should be evaluated – diagnostic mammography is an essential part of the work-up.

Dense breast tissue

If you have dense breasts, mammography is still recommended – but you may benefit from additional screening (ultrasound or 3D mammography).

Previous breast cancer or biopsy

If you have a history of breast cancer or a biopsy with high-risk lesions, regular mammography is essential for surveillance.

Anxiety about breast health

If you are worried about breast cancer, a mammogram can provide peace of mind – and if something is found, early detection saves lives.
