At Emirates Hospitals Group, we use the most advanced diagnostic tools to ensure accurate and early detection of breast disorders. Diagnostic methods include:
Mammograms: X-rays of the breast used to detect tumors or abnormalities.
Breast Ultrasound: Imaging that uses sound waves to evaluate breast lumps or abnormalities detected in a physical exam or mammogram.
MRI: Magnetic resonance imaging can provide detailed images of the breast for further assessment.
Biopsy: A procedure in which a small sample of breast tissue is taken for laboratory analysis to determine if a lump is benign or cancerous.
Genetic Testing: For individuals at high risk, genetic screening can help assess the likelihood of developing breast cancer.
