Digital Mammography – IRC

Digital Mammography is a specialised X-ray examination of the breasts, designed to detect early signs of breast cancer and other abnormalities. Unlike traditional film mammography, digital technology produces clearer, high-resolution images, allowing radiologists to identify even the smallest changes in breast tissue.

At International Radiology Centre (IRC), we combine advanced AI-assisted imaging with expert care to provide more accurate and reliable breast screening.

We are recognised by leading UAE insurers, making your scan both accessible and affordable.

• Please inform our radiology team if you:
  • Have breast implants.
  • Are pregnant, think you might be, or are breastfeeding.

  This information helps us take the necessary precautions to ensure your safety.

1. During a digital mammogram:
   1. You will be asked to undress from the waist up and provided with a gown.
   2. Each breast will be gently positioned and compressed between two plates attached to the mammogram machine. Compression is important because it:
      • Prevents movement for a clearer image.
      • Spreads out breast tissue for better visibility.
      • Reduces the radiation dose.
   3. X-ray images are taken from different angles to provide a complete view.
   4. You may be asked to hold still or briefly stop breathing during the scan to avoid blurring.
   5. The same process is then repeated for the other breast.

   While compression may feel slightly uncomfortable, it only lasts a few seconds and is essential for obtaining accurate results.

• A digital mammography scan usually takes 20 to 30 minutes, including preparation time. Results are analysed by our highly trained radiologists, supported by AI technology, to provide a more precise diagnosis.

• At IRC, we are committed to women’s health and early detection of breast cancer. Our patients benefit from:
  • AI-powered digital imaging for greater accuracy.
  • Lower radiation exposure than traditional mammograms.
  • Faster results and seamless image sharing with your doctor.
  • Expert female radiographers to ensure comfort and dignity.
  • A patient-focused environment designed for reassurance and care.

  Early detection saves lives – and with advanced technology, IRC is helping women across the UAE take proactive steps for their health.
