Breast Health Screening
Efficient Two-Cancer Screening with One Coordinated Pathway
Xi’an IMC | GE Voluson E10 ABVS | Hologic Selenia Dimensions 3D Mammography | Siemens MAGNETOM Prisma 3.0T Breast MRI | Tumor Markers | English Specialist Consultation
- US: breast MRI often requires referral first, with total waiting time commonly 3–6 months
- Mammography and ultrasound are often scheduled at different facilities, requiring multiple visits
- UK NHS breast screening pathways may take 6–12 months
- Annual screening adherence is often poor, especially for women over 40 and high-risk groups needing frequent follow-up
- Appointment within 2–5 working days
- Breast ultrasound and mammography can be completed in one visit; MRI added for high-risk patients
- Ultrasound and mammography reported the same day; MRI report within 24 hours
- English specialist consultation arranged within 24 hours after exams
Breast ultrasound, mammography, and MRI for high-risk patients can be coordinated within one efficient workflow.
ABVS, DBT mammography, and contrast-enhanced MRI support more detailed lesion assessment.
Clear explanation of BI-RADS category, risk level, and the recommended follow-up plan.
| Examination | Equipment / Technology | Clinical Value |
|---|---|---|
| Breast Ultrasound | GE Voluson E10 ABVS + 3D imaging |
Automated whole-breast ultrasound for lesion detection, volumetric review, and dense breast assessment support. |
| Breast Mammography | Hologic Selenia Dimensions 3D Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) |
Improves structural visualization with lower-dose breast screening for calcifications, masses, and architectural distortion. |
| Breast MRI (High-risk patients) | Siemens MAGNETOM Prisma 3.0T Dedicated breast coil + dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging |
High-sensitivity assessment for women at elevated risk, including BRCA carriers or those requiring closer surveillance. |
| Tumor Markers | Roche cobas 8000 CA15-3, CA125, CEA |
Provides supporting laboratory information when clinically indicated, alongside imaging findings. |
| Specialist Consultation (English) | Senior physician (Associate Chief Physician level or above) | English consultation with BI-RADS interpretation, screening summary, and follow-up recommendations. |

BI-RADS explanation and follow-up planning
If suspicious findings are present, biopsy or surgical referral recommendations can be arranged
Automated whole-breast ultrasound with 3D imaging support for dense breast assessment and lesion review.
3D digital breast tomosynthesis platform designed for higher-quality screening with lower radiation exposure.
Senior specialist consultation with BI-RADS interpretation, risk communication, and next-step guidance.
Who should consider the basic vs high-risk package?
The basic package is suited to routine annual breast screening. The high-risk package is more appropriate for women with elevated risk, such as those with strong family history or BRCA-related concerns.
Do I need any preparation before the visit?
Mammography should ideally be scheduled outside the menstrual period when possible. For breast MRI, all metallic items must be removed before the scan.
How quickly will I receive results?
Breast ultrasound and mammography are typically reported the same day. Breast MRI reports are usually issued within 24 hours, and English specialist consultation is arranged within 24 hours after exams.
What happens if a suspicious lesion is found?
If imaging identifies a suspicious finding, biopsy or surgical referral options can be discussed promptly, along with follow-up recommendations and estimated next-step planning.
