Two dedicated Mammography units are available in our department. The Mammomat-2 has facilities both for Film Mammography and Xero Mammography. The new Senographe DMR Mammography Unit is a state-of-the-art unit equipped with senovision digital spot filming and stereotactic biopsy facilities. Both these machines allow high quality mammograms to be obtained for diagnosis of brease diseases. The senovision digital stereotactic biopsy facility is perhaps the only such equipment in operation in the country. It enables quick and highly accurate needle biopsy of suspicious brease lesions, with marked reduction in patient discomfort because of shorter time required for biopsy.

The digital spot filming capability permits electronic manipulation and magnification of images. This is important to the radiologist for providing better visualization and more accurate diagnosis of small lesions and microcalcifications in the breast.
