Breast radiology focuses on detecting and evaluating breast disease. Early breast cancer often causes no symptoms, so screening imaging is central, and any lump, nipple discharge or skin change needs prompt assessment.

Patients looking for a radiologist in Borivali for breast imaging at Apex may be offered mammography, which uses low-dose X-rays and compresses the breast briefly to improve detail. Ultrasound is often added in younger women and in dense breasts, and it separates solid lumps from cysts. MRI is used in selected situations, such as high family risk or to define the extent of a known cancer.

When imaging finds an abnormal area, the radiologist can guide a needle biopsy to obtain tissue. A suspicious result does not always mean cancer, and the doctor explains the next steps.

Breast radiology services include:

• Screening Mammography: Routine imaging for women without symptoms, usually from around 40 years or earlier with a strong family history, to find cancer before it can be felt.
• Diagnostic Mammography and Ultrasound: Focused imaging for a lump, pain, discharge or an abnormal screening result, to decide whether the finding is benign or needs sampling.
• Breast MRI: A sensitive scan for high-risk women, checking the extent of cancer and assessing implants, requiring contrast and careful scheduling.
• Image-Guided Breast Biopsy: Ultrasound-guided needle sampling of suspicious areas, which provides a tissue diagnosis without surgery.
