Can I use my insurance?
It depends on your policy and the treatment you need. Please call us on +91 96593 31356 and we’ll help you check what your plan covers.
What is a mammogram?
A mammogram is a low-dose X-ray of the breast that can detect changes early, sometimes long before they can be felt. We also offer Hologic 3D digital mammography.
Is a mammogram painful?
You may feel some discomfort as the breast is briefly pressed between two plates to get a clear image. It lasts only a few seconds. If it becomes uncomfortable, tell the technician and they will help.
