Mammogram

Mammography Test Price in Pakistan

At Chughtai Lab, we are committed to providing state-of-the-art diagnostic Breast Cancer Screening services, utilizing the latest mammographic technology to ensure accurate and timely detection. A mammogram is a specialized, low-dose X-ray imaging technique that allows our expert radiologists to meticulously examine breast tissue for any subtle changes, even before symptoms appear.

Who Should Get a Mammogram?

While individual recommendations can vary, mammography screening is primarily recommended for women above 40 years of age as a routine check-up. However, it is also highly advised for individuals, regardless of age, who have a strong family history of breast cancer or other significant risk factors. Consulting with your healthcare provider will help determine the most appropriate screening schedule for you.

Why is Mammography Important?

Mammography plays a crucial role in the early detection of breast cancer, significantly improving treatment outcomes. It’s an indispensable tool for routine screenings in women, especially when there are no apparent signs or symptoms of the disease. Early detection is paramount because when breast cancer is identified in its initial stages, it is often most treatable.

Key Benefits of a Mammography Screening at Chughtai Lab:

Reduces the risk of death due to breast cancer: Regular screenings help identify malignancies early, leading to prompt intervention and better prognoses.
Improves a physician’s ability to detect small tumors: Our advanced mammography equipment can pinpoint tiny abnormalities that might be missed during a physical examination.
Non-invasive and Safe: The procedure is quick, generally well-tolerated, and leaves no residual radiation in the patient’s body.
No known side effects: Mammography is a safe diagnostic tool with no adverse reactions.

Diagnostic Mammography: Used to investigate suspicious breast symptoms or abnormal findings from a screening mammogram.
Screening Mammography: Routine check-up for women without symptoms.
Breast Ultrasound: At Chughtai Lab, we often recommend a Breast Ultrasound as a complementary procedure to mammography. This dual approach significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy. While mammography is excellent at detecting microcalcifications and architectural distortions, ultrasound excels at evaluating dense breast tissue and differentiating between solid masses and fluid-filled cysts. By performing both, we provide a more comprehensive assessment, ensuring that any abnormalities that might not be visible on one modality are picked up by the other, thereby offering you maximum protection and peace of mind.
Breast MRI: May be recommended for high-risk individuals or further evaluation in complex cases.
Breast Cancer Checkup / Breast Cancer Test: A comprehensive testing that may include imaging, physical examination, and potentially other diagnostic procedures.
