Whether you have any symptoms or just concerns about family history or just want an overall assessment of your breast health, rest assured you’ll receive the finest patient care from start to finish.

We believe that Breast Health should be part of every woman’s lifestyle. Awareness is the greatest protection against breast cancer and survival is often linked to early diagnosis. At Allied, we are supporting the fight against breast cancer by continuously creating awareness, investing in latest technology and providing clinical expertise to the community of Dubai.

At Allied, our dedicated one-stop Breast Services are performed by an experienced team of doctors, nurses and technologists, led by our highly skilled Breast Radiologist, following the highest International Gold Standards for assessment, diagnosis and breast imaging reporting. Our Breast Health Services includes breast assessment consultations, breast screening and diagnostic breast services in private, discreet, female-only surroundings.

During a breast assessment consultation, our doctor will perform a clinical breast examination and refer you for the best screening or diagnostic investigations based on your medical and family history, breast anatomy and any findings or concerns discussed in your initial consultation. She will also teach you how to do self-assessment examinations at home and provide you with a breast self-assessment shower card to take home. Breast screening is recommended at least every 2 years for women, beginning at age 40. However, if you have a strong family history of breast cancer, it is recommended to discuss screening at an earlier age. Breast screening is also recommended prior to cosmetic breast enhancement to determine your breast health.

It is very important to maintain your breast health records throughout your life. Always bring the request form from your doctor, any post-surgery documentation, as well as any previous related diagnostic imaging reports and images on CD or film with you on the day of your imaging appointment. This allows our Breast Radiologist to review and compare images for a comprehensive study of your breast health.

Allied Medical Center continuously upgrade our Breast Imaging services to include the latest, most advanced imaging technology:

• Digital Mammography with 3D Tomosynthesisthe most up to date technology for superior digital imaging, providing exceptional diagnostic detail and helps to earlier detection of small breast cancers
• Breast Ultrasound with Elastography Software for dense breast imaging
• 3T Breast MRI with the most advanced 18 channel coil for high-resolution imaging

Depending on breast imaging findings, a biopsy may be recommended for further analysis. Having a biopsy can be scary, but keep in mind that all biopsies may not be malignant. Biopsy procedures are minimally invasive under local anesthesia and performed by our highly qualified Breast Radiologist

Breast Biopsy Services include:

• Core needle biopsies – Ultrasound or Mammography guided
• Vacuum-assisted biopsies – Ultrasound, Mammography or MRI guided
• Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) – Ultrasound guided

Our newly added Vacuum-assisted biopsy serviceis a type of biopsy in which a vacuum-powered instrument is inserted through the skin to the site of an abnormal growth to collect and remove multiple tissue samples for analysis. Using vacuum pressure, the abnormal cells and tissue are removed with a single prick.It is diagnostic and can also be curative for small benign lesions.
