At Anandi Hospitals, your mammogram is performed in a private, comfortable setting by staff who understand that this test can feel daunting. If anything needs a closer look, our full women’s health team is right here to guide you.
Mammography is an imaging test that uses a small, safe dose of X-rays to create detailed pictures of the inside of the breast. Because it can reveal tiny changes that are far too small to feel, it is the cornerstone of breast cancer screening for women.
| Feature | Screening Mammogram | Diagnostic Mammogram |
|---|---|---|
| Who it is for | Women with no symptoms, as a routine check | Women with a symptom or an abnormal screening result |
| Main purpose | Find breast cancer early, before symptoms | Take a closer look at a specific concern |
| Images taken | Usually two standard views of each breast | Extra, focused views of the area of concern |
| When it is advised | Regularly from around age 40, or as advised | After a lump, pain, discharge or a recall |
| What usually follows | A routine report, repeat in one to two years | May be combined with ultrasound or a biopsy |
Tiny lumps and masses that cannot yet be felt by hand, often the earliest sign of a problem.
Specks of calcium that can be an early clue to changes in the breast tissue.
Areas that may need an ultrasound to tell a harmless fluid-filled cyst from a solid lump.
New areas of density or distortion that were not present on an earlier scan.
Asymmetry or an unusual pattern when the two breasts are compared.
Subtle differences from your previous mammogram that are worth a closer look.
Early changes that appear long before a lump can be felt or any symptom is noticed.
Early detection is the best protection. Call Anandi Hospitals today to book your mammography in Aurangabad, a quick and low-dose test carried out with care, privacy and clear reporting.

No fasting is needed. Skip deodorant, powder and lotion on the day, and a two-piece outfit is easiest. Booking just after your period keeps breasts less tender.
