What is a mammography test?
A mammography test is a low-dose X-ray examination of the breast used to detect and diagnose breast diseases in women. It is primarily used for breast cancer screening. At Chughtai Lab, we are committed to providing state-of-the-art diagnostic Breast Cancer Screening services, utilising 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. Because it can reveal changes that are too small to feel, mammography plays a central role in catching breast cancer at its earliest, most treatable stage. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women in Pakistan, which makes routine screening especially important here.
Mammography spellings and names - are they the same test?
Mammography is searched and written in many ways. All of the following refer to the same breast screening test:
| Name / spelling | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Mammography / Mammogram | The standard names - the test (mammography) and the image it produces (mammogram) |
| Memography / Mamography / Memo graphy | Common spellings of mammography - same test |
| Memo graphic test / Memo grafi test / Injo grafi | Phonetic spellings used in Pakistan - same test |
| Monogram test / Monography / Momography | Common misspellings - same test |
| Mamogram / Memogram | Common spellings of mammogram - same test |
| Breast X-ray | Descriptive name - a mammogram is a specialised low-dose breast X-ray |
| Sonomammography | Mammography combined with breast ultrasound in one assessment |
| Breast cancer screening test | The screening purpose of mammography |
If your doctor has written any of these on your prescription, it refers to the mammography service described on this page, priced at PKR 22,000 (50% off with the Pink Card).
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. Men can also develop breast cancer, though rarely - a man with a breast lump or nipple changes may also be advised breast imaging by his doctor.
Why is mammography important?
Mammography plays a crucial role in the early detection of breast cancer, significantly improving treatment outcomes. It is 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.
Mammography at Chughtai Lab is performed by trained female technologists in a private, professional environment.

- Breast Ultrasound: At Chughtai Lab, we often recommend a breast ultrasound as a complementary procedure to mammography.
- Breast MRI: May be recommended for high-risk individuals or further evaluation in complex cases.
- Breast Cancer Checkup / Breast Cancer Test: A comprehensive assessment that may include imaging, physical examination, and other diagnostic procedures through our Breast Clinic.
Mammography vs breast ultrasound - what is the difference?
Mammography uses X-rays to create images of the breast, while ultrasound uses sound waves. They see different things, which is why they are often performed together:
| Feature | Mammography | Breast ultrasound |
|---|---|---|
| Technology | Low-dose X-ray | Sound waves - no radiation |
| Best at detecting | Microcalcifications, architectural distortions | Dense breast tissue, cysts vs solid masses |
| Typical role | Primary screening test (40+) | Complementary test, first test for younger patients |
| Discomfort | Brief compression pressure | Painless |
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. When mammography and breast ultrasound are reported together as one assessment, the combined study is often called sonomammography.
Breast biopsy - when is it needed and what does it cost?
A breast biopsy is only advised when imaging finds something that needs closer examination - it involves taking a tiny tissue sample so it can be examined by a pathologist. Most women who have a mammogram never need a biopsy, and most breast biopsies do not turn out to be cancer, so a biopsy request is a step of caution, not a diagnosis.
At Chughtai Lab, biopsies are commonly performed under ultrasound guidance for precision, and the sample is processed in our CAP-accredited pathology laboratory - imaging and pathology under one roof, which shortens the time to a final answer. Breast biopsy pricing depends on the type of biopsy and pathology work required, so contact the lab on 03-111-456-789 with your doctor's advice note for an exact quote.
BRCA and genetic risk testing
BRCA1 and BRCA2 are genes that, when mutated, significantly raise the lifetime risk of breast and ovarian cancer. BRCA testing is a laboratory (blood) test - separate from mammography - that is usually considered when there is a strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer, especially at young ages.
If your doctor has advised BRCA or other genetic risk testing, contact Chughtai Lab on 03-111-456-789 to confirm current availability and pricing of genetic testing, and discuss the results with your physician or a genetic counsellor - a positive result changes the recommended screening schedule rather than being a diagnosis in itself.
Procedure, pain and how to prepare
The mammography procedure itself usually takes about 15-20 minutes. Each breast is gently compressed between two plates for a few seconds while the X-ray image is taken. You may experience some discomfort or pressure during the compression, but it is generally brief and tolerable - our technicians are trained to make the process as comfortable as possible.
How to prepare for your mammogram
- Do not apply deodorant, talcum powder, lotion or perfume on your chest or underarms on the day of the exam - these can appear as white specks on the images and interfere with interpretation.
- Bring any previous mammogram images or reports if you were screened elsewhere - comparison with old images is one of the most valuable tools a radiologist has.
- If you still menstruate, scheduling the exam for the week after your period can reduce breast tenderness and discomfort.
- Wear a two-piece outfit so you only need to undress from the waist up.
- Inform the technologist if there is any possibility of pregnancy before the exam.
