At Pioneer, A Breast CT scan uses low-dose X-rays to create detailed 3D images of the breast from multiple angles. Unlike traditional mammography, the breast is positioned comfortably on the table without compression between plates. The scanner rotates around the breast to capture precise cross-sectional images.
The procedure is quick, safe, and painless, typically completed in 10–15 minutes. It provides high-resolution images that allow physicians to detect even small abnormalities with greater accuracy and comfort compared to standard mammograms.
To detect early signs of breast cancer and other breast abnormalities.
To provide detailed 3D imaging for accurate diagnosis and monitoring.
For a mammogram, the breast will be gently compressed between two plates to capture images. For a Breast CT, you will lie on a padded table while the scanner moves around the breast to collect 3D images. Both procedures are safe, quick, and cause minimal to no discomfort.
Do I need any preparation before the test?
Yes. Avoid applying deodorants, powders, or lotions on the chest or underarms before the test, as they can interfere with the images. Wear comfortable clothing.
Is the procedure painful?
A mammogram may cause slight discomfort due to breast compression, but it lasts only a few seconds. Breast CT, on the other hand, is generally painless as no compression is used.
