Our MAMMOMAT B.brilliant system offers exceptional image quality at a lower radiation dose, while also incorporating advanced comfort features to reduce patient anxiety. Its intelligent design streamlines workflow, allowing earlier detection and greater reassurance for patients.
What this means for our patients:
We kindly ask all women under 70 who have not completed one previously to complete a quick, confidential online breast cancer risk assessment before your mammogram. This information is essential because, by combining your age, calculated risk level, and mammographic density, our specialist radiologists can provide evidence-based, personalised recommendations for your ongoing breast screening utilising either 3D mammography, 3D contrast-enhanced mammography, ultrasound and/or MRI.
Please complete the assessment using iPrevent Risk Assessment and email to info@noosaradiology.com.au
Please be aware that all Breast Imaging examinations require an appointment. Please call us to arrange an appointment.
What to bring:
Please wear a two-piece outfit. No deodorant, hairspray, talcum powder or body cream with glitter should be worn on the day of your examination. 3D mammography is sensitive and artifacts on the skin surface may be produced by these products. Facilities are available on-site for you to apply these products following your examination.
The appearance of the breast on a mammogram varies tremendously from woman to woman, and no two mammograms are alike. Please tell us if you have had previous breast imaging. It is extremely helpful for the radiologist to have access to any previous examinations for comparison purposes. This will help the doctor to recognise small changes that occur gradually over time and detect a cancer as early as possible.
Please tell us if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
You will be asked to change into a gown prior to the examination.
During mammography, the technologist will position and image each breast separately. Each breast is carefully positioned on a special detector plate and then gently compressed with a paddle. This compression flattens the breast so that the maximum amount of tissue can be imaged and examined. Patients should feel firm pressure due to compression but no significant pain. If you feel pain, please inform the technologist.
Our radiologists are involved in every case at the time of the exam. If any additional imaging is required, we make every effort to obtain it at that time, as opposed to having patients return for further imaging or biopsy.
The images obtained are digitally recorded. At Noosa Radiology our highly trained and qualified radiologists interpret the images and provide a report for your doctor and/or referring health care provider usually within 24 hours, although depending on the complexity of the scan this may take a little longer.
You will need to make a follow up appointment to discuss the results with your referring practitioner. Your doctor can access your report and images electronically via a secure portal and you will be able to access your images via our patient portal.
