Mammography

Comprehensive breast diagnostics featuring 3D tomosynthesis mammography, breast ultrasound, and clinical breast examination for precise detection of breast changes.

Comprehensive breast diagnostics

Advanced imaging technology for proactive breast health

Many breast changes cause no palpable lump or noticeable visual symptom for an extended period. Because of this, mammography serves not only as a vital diagnostic procedure when symptoms arise, but also as a primary imaging tool in routine breast cancer screening for early detection.

Comprehensive breast evaluation at Swiss Clinic combines 3D tomosynthesis mammography, breast ultrasound, and a clinical breast examination. Working synergistically, these modalities provide a detailed assessment of breast tissue to detect abnormalities at their earliest stages.

Comprehensive breast diagnostics and specialist medical examination

Important information before your visit

Mammography does not require fasting or dietary restrictions. During the examination, each breast is gently compressed between two plates for a few seconds to obtain high-quality diagnostic images, which may cause brief discomfort or a feeling of pressure.

What to keep in mind before your visit

  • Previous breast imaging records: Bring your prior mammograms, breast ultrasounds, MRI reports, and biopsy results, including original image files whenever possible. Comparative assessment is an essential part of diagnostic evaluation.
  • Timing your examination: Breasts are often more tender right before menstruation. When scheduling flexibility allows, choose an appointment during the week following your period when breast tissue is typically less tender and less dense.
  • Cosmetic products: On the day of your examination, avoid using deodorant, antiperspirant, powder, lotions, or creams on your breasts or underarms, as mineral particles can mimic microcalcifications on imaging.
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding: If you are pregnant, may be pregnant, or are currently breastfeeding, inform our team when booking so we can select the most appropriate imaging method for your care.

When is a mammography examination indicated?

Mammography is indicated both for asymptomatic routine screening and for the targeted diagnostic workup of noticed breast changes:

  • Regular breast cancer screening: Routine mammograms scheduled according to age and individual risk help detect microcalcifications and non-palpable early-stage lesions.
  • Palpable lump or focal breast changes: A newly discovered lump, localized thickening, or any change in breast texture requires diagnostic imaging.
  • Changes in the nipple or breast skin: Newly developed nipple retraction, skin dimpling, contour asymmetry, redness, or other unusual skin alterations.
  • Nipple discharge: Targeted breast evaluation is indicated for any spontaneous, unilateral, clear, or bloody nipple discharge.
  • Elevated personal or family risk: A family history of breast cancer or a personal history of high-risk breast lesions warrants an individualized screening strategy and monitoring schedule.

Available examinations

At Swiss Clinic, mammography is offered as part of a comprehensive breast diagnostics package:

3D tomosynthesis mammography

Advanced mammographic imaging that captures thin digital slices through the breast, minimizing tissue overlap and providing superior anatomical clarity across dense breast tissue.

Why choose Swiss Clinic?

Our comprehensive breast diagnostics do not rely on a single imaging method. 3D tomosynthesis mammography, breast ultrasound, and clinical examination work together to ensure an exhaustive and highly accurate assessment of your breast health.

3D tomosynthesis mammography

Advanced multi-slice imaging provides deeper diagnostic clarity across breast tissue and enhances lesion detection.

Three modalities in a single visit

Mammography is paired with a breast ultrasound and clinical palpation for complete diagnostic confidence.

Prompt clinical results

Receive immediate feedback on your comprehensive breast evaluation during your visit, avoiding days of anxious waiting.

Clear next steps

If imaging indicates a need for follow-up, our radiologist outlines a definitive clinical plan and necessary diagnostic pathways.

Comprehensive breast examination for early detection

Mammography uses low-dose X-rays to generate high-resolution images of breast tissue. During the exam, the breast is compressed for a few seconds, which ensures sharp image resolution while minimizing radiation exposure. Compression lasts only moments and may feel slightly uncomfortable depending on individual sensitivity.

The 3D tomosynthesis technology used at Swiss Clinic reconstructs cross-sectional digital slices from multiple angled projections. Every mammogram is interpreted by a specialized radiologist and complemented by a clinical breast examination and breast ultrasound.

Have you discovered a lump or new change in your breast, or are you due for your regular screening? Our comprehensive breast diagnostics—combining 3D tomosynthesis mammography, breast ultrasound, and physical examination—facilitate prompt detection of potential breast abnormalities.

Main focus and diagnostic areas:

Mammographic imaging

  • Bilateral mammography examination
  • State-of-the-art 3D tomosynthesis technology
  • Layer-by-layer visualization of dense breast tissue
  • Targeted diagnostic spot or magnification views when indicated

Ultrasound and physical examination

  • Manual clinical examination and breast palpation
  • Bilateral whole-breast diagnostic ultrasound
  • Targeted evaluation of detected focal abnormalities
  • Sonographic assessment of regional axillary lymph nodes as needed

Reporting and patient care pathways

  • Expert interpretation by dedicated breast radiologists
  • Correlated assessment of mammographic and sonographic findings
  • Comprehensive review of findings and clear guidance on next steps
  • Recommendations for advanced imaging or biopsy in suspicious cases

Don't let your symptoms leave you with unanswered questions

Our experienced medical specialists and advanced diagnostic technology can help identify the underlying causes of your symptoms. Choose an appointment time that works best for you.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions regarding comprehensive breast diagnostics.

During a mammogram, each breast is briefly compressed between two plates, which can cause temporary discomfort or mild pain depending on individual sensitivity. Compression lasts only a few seconds per view and is necessary to produce clear diagnostic images while reducing radiation dose. If your breasts are particularly tender, please let the technologist know before the exam begins.

Tomosynthesis (3D mammography) is an advanced digital imaging technology that acquires multiple low-dose exposures of the breast from different angles to reconstruct thin cross-sectional image slices. This minimizes the effect of overlapping breast tissue, significantly improving the visibility and accurate detection of subtle lesions.

These two imaging modalities provide complementary information about breast architecture. Breast ultrasound is exceptionally valuable for targeted evaluation of abnormalities seen on a mammogram or felt during physical examination, particularly in differentiating simple fluid-filled cysts from solid tissue masses.

No. Fasting is not required for a mammogram or breast ultrasound; you may eat and drink normally before your appointment. However, on the day of your examination, please avoid using deodorant, antiperspirant, powders, or body lotions on your breasts and underarms.

An abnormal mammogram finding does not automatically indicate malignancy; most breast changes turn out to be benign. Depending on the imaging features, the radiologist may recommend diagnostic magnification views, targeted ultrasound, short-term follow-up, or a core needle biopsy. Any necessary next steps will be determined based on your specific imaging findings and clinical history.
