Complete Breast health Diagnostic Screening
For women seeking the highest standard of breast screening, combining a 3D mammogram with a breast ultrasound is the clinical gold standard. The mammogram is highly sensitive at detecting tiny calcium deposits (micro-calcifications) and structural changes, while the ultrasound checks for solid lumps vs. fluid cysts and scans the underarm lymph nodes.
At LifeScan Malta, this combined assessment is completed in a single visit at our Naxxar clinic. It is performed and reported on the same day by a consultant radiologist.
3D Mammogram
Structural Screening
We utilize tomosynthesis and AI detection to check:
- Micro-calcifications (earliest indicators of breast changes)
- Overlapping tissue details and architectural distortions
- AI-assisted secondary diagnostic review
Breast Ultrasound
Focal characterization
We expand the check-up with high-resolution ultrasound:
- Differentiating solid masses from harmless fluid-filled cysts
- Detailed scanning of dense breast tissue zones
- Screening the axillary (underarm) lymph node groups
Deodorant & Clothing Instructions
- No Deodorant/Perfumes: Do not apply deodorants, antiperspirants, powders, or lotions to the breasts or underarms, as they can mimic calcium spots on X-rays.
- Wear a Two-Piece: Wear a separate top and bottom to make undressing from the waist up simple.
- Fasting: No fasting is required; eat and drink normally.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about 3D Mammogram Tomosynthesis + Ultrasound.
Why do I need both tests?
A mammogram can miss some masses in dense breasts, whereas ultrasound can easily see through density. Conversely, ultrasound cannot see micro-calcifications. Using both together provides the most complete and accurate check possible.
What is the recommended age for this combined scan?
This combined package is highly recommended for women aged 40 and over, or women over 35 with a strong family history of breast cancer.
How long does the appointment take?
The combined procedure takes approximately 30 to 40 minutes in total.
