Mammogram in Singapore

2D mammography in Singapore starts from $174.40 (one side) or $239.80 (both sides). 3D tomosynthesis starts at $327.00 (one side) or $457.80 (both sides). Combined ultrasound and implant variants are priced separately as listed above. Plus $38 Mediway GP consultation. All prices GST-inclusive. Prices subject to change; please contact us for the latest.

2D mammography takes two flat X-ray images of each breast (top-down and side). 3D mammography (tomosynthesis) takes multiple thin slices through the breast and reconstructs them as a layered 3D dataset. 3D is more sensitive for dense breast tissue and reduces the chance of being called back for additional imaging. The Singapore HPB-subsidised programme uses 2D; many private centres offer both. 3D services are available at our Paragon imaging partner.

Singapore Health Promotion Board (HPB) recommends mammogram screening every 2 years from age 50 to 69 for women at average risk, and annual screening from age 40 to 49 after discussion with a doctor. Women with strong family history, known BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations, or other high-risk factors may start earlier and need more frequent imaging. Discuss your individual risk with the Mediway GP.

No. Mediway does not have a mammography machine on-site. We coordinate referral to our accredited imaging partner (Radlink), with the scan performed at their imaging centre. Mediway provides the GP consultation, referral, and results review.

Mammography involves brief compression of the breast between two plates, which most women describe as uncomfortable but not painful. Each compression lasts only a few seconds. Discomfort is usually less if the scan is scheduled 7-10 days after the start of your period, when breasts are least tender. Tell the radiographer if the compression is painful, they can adjust.

Yes. Mammography with implants uses a special technique (implant-displacement / Eklund views) that requires additional images, so pricing is higher than the standard scan. Tell the imaging centre at booking that you have implants. The radiographer will adjust positioning to maximise breast tissue visibility while protecting the implant.

Breast ultrasound is often added to mammography for women with dense breast tissue (common in Asian women), women under 50, women with palpable lumps, or women with implants. Ultrasound complements mammography by distinguishing cysts from solid lumps and characterising areas that look dense on mammogram. Your GP will recommend the right combination based on your history and risk.

Yes. The imaging partner provides a radiologist report (typically in 1-3 working days). You return to Mediway for a follow-up consultation where the GP explains findings in plain language, flags anything needing action, and coordinates next steps including breast surgeon, oncology, or genetics referral if appropriate.

Coverage varies by policy. Mammograms ordered to investigate breast symptoms are often covered; routine screening mammograms may not be. CHAS subsidies and HPB-subsidised mammograms are available at participating centres. We provide itemised receipts for insurance submission.
