Unique Facilities: Radiology


Mammography:

Mammography examination is a specialized and sophisticated type of examination of Breast. This examination is carried out to detect very early cancerous growth in the breast. The equipment that we have has a computerized Stereotatic Biopsy attachment, which automatically and very accurately takes a sample of tissue for cytological examination. We also have the facility for needle localization.

Though this is a screening test carried out on all women abroad, in India we can certainly do this examination as a screening test in high-risk patients. The high-risk patients are those who have small palpable lump/s in breast or the patients who are above 35 years and have a blood relative who has or had breast cancer. The procedure of Mammography is a simple procedure and at Nair Hospital, we have standard protocol where patients who have positive Mammography findings are subjected to Sonomammography and Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy. The entire package costs only Rs. 300.
