Mammography

 

At Synergy Radiology, your health is our priority. That’s why we offer fully bulk billed mammograms for patients with a valid Medicare card, where the clinical indication meets the required Medicare criteria for a rebate. Breast health is essential, and we’re here to make sure cost isn’t a barrier to getting the care you need.

Please note: Medicare does not cover screening mammography.

Why Mammograms Matter

Breast cancer affects thousands of Australians every year. Early detection through mammograms remains one of the most effective ways to detect breast cancer early, significantly improving survival rates. This is especially important during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, when we encourage all women to take action for their health.

Alarming Statistics

  • 58 Australians are diagnosed with breast cancer each day—more than 21,000 new cases annually.
  • Despite advances in treatment, 9 Australians die daily from this disease.
  • When breast cancer is detected early, the five-year survival rate is nearly 100%.

Mammograms can identify cancer before it shows any symptoms, giving you a better chance of a full recovery.

3D mammography

Comfort for our patients, Confidence for our technologists and Clarity for our radiologists.

Synergy Radiology’s newly acquired state of the art GE 3D Tomosynthesis machines, are reshaping your mammography experience and are available now at our Campsie medical imaging, Norwest medical imaging and Rouse Hill medical imaging practices.

The GE Senographe PristinaTM utilises breast tomosynthesis (3D mammography), an innovative technique where a series of images are captured to create a 3D picture of the breast. This allows our radiologists to report with precision, as these images clarify abnormalities in the tissue which may otherwise be difficult to visualise.

During your mammogram, both 2D and 3D images are obtained with the machine moving in a 15-degree arc to capture the 3D tomosynthesis of the breast. Our mammographers will ensure that patient comfort is priority during the entire examination.

The GE Senographe Pristina TM has the lowest patient dose of all FDA approved tomosynthesis systems, delivering advanced image quality and superior diagnostic accuracy.

A mammogram is a life-saving tool used by doctors to determine the presence and location of lesions in breasts. It is imperative that both women and men continually check their breasts and visit their doctors if any changes occur.

If you would like to make a booking for a 3D tomosynthesis mammogram, please call us at our Norwest, Campsie or Rouse Hill sites on 1300 339 729,  9789 3033  or 8602 5400 or request an appointment here.
