Early detection saves lives. At ARC Cancer Hospital (Arion Radiotherapy & Oncology Centre), our specialized mammography centre in Bangalore delivers early diagnostic precision for breast health. Equipped with state-of-the-art Digital 3D Mammography (Tomosynthesis), high-resolution Breast Ultrasound (USG), and guided core biopsy suites, our unit provides clear imaging while minimizing patient discomfort.
Located on Hosur Main Road in Wilson Garden, our diagnostic suite serves women across Bengaluru with zero corporate waiting queues and compassionate, female-led clinical care.
Choosing the right screening technology depends on your age, symptoms, and breast density. Below is a clear comparison matrix:
| Feature & Parameter | Standard 2D Digital Mammogram | Advanced 3D Digital Tomosynthesis |
|---|---|---|
| Technology Type | Single flat-plane X-ray projection | Multi-angle cross-sectional slice imaging |
| Best Suited For | Routine annual checkups in lower-density tissue | Dense breast tissue, high-risk screening, & suspicious lumps |
| Cancer Detection Rate | Standard baseline detection | 41% increase in detecting invasive cancers early |
| False Positive Callbacks | Standard baseline callbacks | Up to 40% reduction in unnecessary call-backs |
| Radiation Exposure | Low-dose FDA approved limits | Ultra-low radiation safe dose limits |
We believe in complete pricing transparency without hidden diagnostic charges. Our packages cater to routine screenings and targeted evaluations:
| Screening Package | Diagnostic Modality Inclusions | Price Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Essential Breast USG |
| ₹1,500 – ₹2,000 |
| Digital 2D Mammography |
| ₹2,000 – ₹3,000 |
| Comprehensive 3D Tomosynthesis |
| ₹3,500 – ₹5,500 |
Note: ARC Cancer Hospital is CGHS empaneled and collaborates with major health insurance TPAs for diagnostic authorizations and treatment procedures.
We understand that mammograms can feel daunting. All scans are conducted by certified female radiological technicians in private, hygienic suites to ensure complete privacy and comfort.
Over 50% of Asian women have dense breast tissue where standard 2D scans can miss micro-calcifications. Our 3D tomosynthesis captures ultra-thin layers to uncover hidden abnormalities.
If a suspicious nodule or cyst is identified, our in-house PET-CT imaging, pathology lab, and surgical oncology teams handle staging and care immediately under one roof.
Scan reports are interpreted directly by practicing surgical oncologists (Dr. Dinesh M G & Dr. Vishnu Kurpad) collaborating with radiation oncology protocols, eliminating generic diagnostic center delays. Read our breast cancer screening guides to learn more.
You will be guided to a private dressing room by our female staff to change into a comfortable front-opening gown.
Our specialized technician will position your breast on the scanner plate. A gentle compression paddle holds the tissue steady for a few seconds to achieve maximum image clarity.
The 3D tomosynthesis arm sweeps in an arc, capturing high-resolution cross-sectional images in under 10 seconds per view.
If dense tissue or a cyst is detected, a targeted ultrasound is conducted immediately during the same visit for total diagnostic clarity.
Your scans are reviewed by senior radiologists and breast oncologists, with detailed digital reports generated the same day.

Medical consensus recommends that women with an average risk profile begin annual screening mammograms at age 40. However, if you have a strong family history of breast cancer (mother, sister, or daughter), you should start screening by age 30 or 10 years earlier than the age of your relative's diagnosis.
You will feel firm pressure on your breast for 5 to 10 seconds while the plastic compression paddle stabilizes the tissue. While this compression may feel slightly uncomfortable, it is essential for spreading out tissue to capture clear images with minimal radiation exposure. The discomfort passes immediately once the scan is finished.
Avoid Deodorants: Do not apply deodorants, antiperspirants, body lotions, or talcum powder under your arms or on your breasts, as metallic particles can appear as false spots on X-ray images. Two-Piece Clothing: Wear a top and bottom so you only need to remove your upper clothing. Optimal Timing: Schedule the exam for the week after your menstrual period when breasts are least tender.
A screening mammogram is a routine checkup for women who have no symptoms or physical changes. A diagnostic mammogram is performed when a patient presents with specific symptoms such as a palpable lump, nipple discharge, skin dimpling, or an abnormal finding on a prior screening requiring additional focused angles.
BI-RADS (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System) is a standardized scoring system used by radiologists: BI-RADS 1 & 2: Completely negative or benign (non-cancerous) findings. BI-RADS 3: Likely benign finding (<2% cancer risk); follow-up recommended in 6 months. BI-RADS 4 & 5: Suspicious or highly suggestive of malignancy; tissue biopsy recommended.
Yes. Modern digital mammography and 3D tomosynthesis use extremely low doses of X-ray radiation, well within international safety limits. The life-saving benefit of identifying early, treatable breast cancer far outweighs the tiny exposure risk.
Yes. Women with silicone or saline implants can safely undergo mammography. Our female technicians use specialized Eklund displacement views to gently push the implant back against the chest wall, allowing the natural breast tissue to be imaged clearly.
Yes. Diagnostic evaluations and follow-up care at ARC Cancer Hospital are covered for CGHS beneficiaries, and cashless hospitalization/procedural benefits apply across major private insurance TPAs.
