Welcome to Our Centre

What is a mammogram?

A mammogram is a specialised x-ray procedure that uses low doses of radiation to detect the early stages of breast cancer.  At For Women 3D Mammography Centre, we use the latest technology – 3D Tomosynthesis Mammography. This technology produces 1mm slice images throughout both breasts that give a three-dimensional view of the breasts.

A newer technology – 3D Tommo is so advanced that it picks up lesions using very low doses of x-ray with minimal compression. The images produced are digital 3 dimensional.
The benefits of 3D Mammography( as per Hologic & patients experience):

      1. Superior 3D image quality
      2. Early detection of cancer
      3. An improved cancer detection rate.
      4. Patient’s experience – “Softer, more gently mammogram”
"Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."
"Going for my routine Mammogram has never been easier. I just loved the welcoming and warm atmosphere in there!"
"Comparing mammogram services here and elsewhere, I picked For Women. The experience was beyond my expectations!"
