Services 

We provide a full range of breast imaging and image-guided procedures, including: 

  • Digital Mammography and Tomosynthesis 
  • Breast Ultrasound, including the use of elastography to assess tissue stiffness 
  • Breast MRI – used for preoperative evaluation and for certain groups of high-risk women or those with genetic conditions such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations 
  • Ultrasound-guided core needle and vacuum-assisted biopsies 
  • Stereotactic biopsies 
  • MRI-guided biopsies 
  • Preoperative localisations using wires, clips, and wireless systems (e.g. SAVI Scout) 
  • Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) and CEM-guided biopsy 
  • CT imaging for DIEP flap planning in breast reconstruction surgery 

We are early adopters of artificial intelligence (AI) in breast imaging, utilising AI as a second reader to support our radiologists in interpreting screening and diagnostic mammograms with greater consistency and accuracy.

Multidisciplinary Breast Care 

Our team of fellowship-trained breast radiologists works closely with breast surgeons, plastic surgeons, oncologists, pathologists, radiographers, and nurses to deliver timely, patient-centred care through our multidisciplinary one-stop breast clinics and tumour board meetings. 
 
We are committed to helping our patients receive answers and care without unnecessary delays—by reducing the time from when a concern is first detected on imaging to when a clear diagnosis and treatment plan are made. 
 
In our Centre, patients have full access to warm, supportive care delivered by a dedicated team of cancer experts—radiologists, radiographers, and nurses—who work in unison from diagnosis through treatment and follow-up. This team-based approach ensures seamless, coordinated care and strives for the best possible outcomes, particularly for those undergoing oncoplastic surgery or breast conservation therapy, where imaging plays a key role in surgical planning and safety. 
 
We also play a key role in national initiatives such as the Screen For Life Screening mammogram programme.
