Mammography

We use the latest 3D Mammography and Digital Breast Tomosynthesis with an ergonomic flex paddle for comfort. This advanced imaging captures multiple thin images for clearer detection of small tumors, especially in dense breast tissue, improving diagnostic accuracy

Preparation

Mammography scans require an appointment.

To make a booking, please call (02) 9044 3200 or request a booking online.

You will be informed of any necessary test preparation, at the time of booking.

Remember to bring your referral, Medicare and Pension/Health Care cards and previous imaging, relating to the region being scanned. If you do not have hardcopies of your films, please advise us with the name of your previous imaging provider, so that we may attempt to access them electronically.

You are not required to bring your previous imaging if it has been performed at Sydney Imaging Specialists.

If you have a recent eGFR blood test result, please bring the result to your appointment.

What to expect

You will be asked to change into a gown. A 3D mammography exam is very similar to a traditional mammogram. As with a 2D digital mammogram, the technologist will position you, gently compress your breast under a paddle and acquire images from different angles. Proper breast positioning and breast compression are essential for optimal imaging.
