Breast ultrasound and mammography in Cáceres

Ultrasound combined with mammography is of great help in patients with symptoms, for example a palpable lump that is not visible on mammography, especially if the patient is a woman with dense breasts and under 40 years of age.

• Mammography is a high-definition X-ray of the breast using very low and controlled dose X-rays to detect breast cancer or other breast diseases at an early stage.
• Breast ultrasound is a non-invasive scanning technique that uses ultrasound and is often used in addition to mammography to diagnose any abnormalities found on mammography.

With this combination of tests, the doctor will be able to make a more specific and detailed diagnosis of the state of health of your breasts and, therefore, the most appropriate treatment for your situation.

For the test to be carried out, it is necessary to have a medical prescription (this test must be prescribed by a specialist in gynaecology).

If you do not have a prescription, you can purchase a private gynaecology consultation on our website, in order to discuss your case in person with one of our specialists and request a prescription for the test.

*The medical prescription for a mammography and a breast ultrasound is always done under the medical criteria of the specialist.

If you already have your medical prescription and have purchased the test, you will receive a voucher in your email with all the necessary data, invoice and information. You should call the telephone number included in the voucher, or contact the Operarme team, to arrange the date that best suits you for the diagnostic test.

On the day of the Breast ultrasound and Mammography test at the Hospital Parque San Francisco you must bring your medical prescription with you.

Once you have the results, you can review them with your doctor of reference, with one of our specialists in person or by telephone through our medical centre.

If you have any questions, you can contact our Patient Service Team on +34 91 141 33 56, or you can leave us a contact form and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
