Breast Imaging in Singapore
Early detection is key in managing breast cancer — the most common cancer affecting women in Singapore. Imaging options include:
Mammography
Mammograms are low-dose X-ray scans of the breasts used for routine screening and cancer detection.
2D Mammogram: Standard imaging for women above 40
3D Tomosynthesis: Advanced imaging offering greater accuracy, especially in dense breast tissue
Mammograms are typically recommended every 1 to 2 years for women aged 40 and above. Singapore’s Breast Cancer Foundation and Health Promotion Board also support regular screening under national programs.
Breast Ultrasound
Often used as a supplementary test to mammography, breast ultrasound helps differentiate between solid lumps and fluid-filled cysts. It is also preferred for younger women or those with dense breast tissue.
Pelvic & Reproductive Health Imaging
Imaging of the female pelvis is essential in diagnosing gynaecological conditions such as:
Ovarian Cysts
Uterine Fibroids
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Endometriosis
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
Pelvic Ultrasound (Transabdominal)
Non-invasive scan performed over the lower abdomen to assess the uterus and ovaries. It is often the first-line imaging tool for gynaecological concerns.
Transvaginal Ultrasound (TVUS)
An internal scan offering high-resolution views of the uterus, endometrial lining, and ovaries. It is typically used when more detailed imaging is needed.
Imaging Safety & Preparation
These scans are generally safe and non-invasive. Ultrasound-based scans involve no radiation and are well tolerated. Mammography uses a low dose of X-rays and is carefully regulated for patient safety.Preparation may include having a full bladder for pelvic scans, or scheduling breast imaging during specific times in the menstrual cycle for accuracy and comfort.
