unusual growth like a lump in your breasts or armpits which does not feel like a part of your
breast tissue, immediately visit an oncologist for a check-up. Dr. Amish Vasant Dalal, a leading

Mammograms

Mammograms are best described as the X-ray of the breasts. This

is an effective method to diagnose changes in the breast tissue in cases where women show no
visible symptoms of a breast anomaly. This medical examination involves taking two views of
each breast, with focus on the suspected region. Amish Dalal conducts Mammograms at Jaslok
Hospital, Breach Candy Hospital, Saifee Hospital, Bhatia General Hospital, and Parsee General
Hospital.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of breasts
An experienced oncologist like Amish Dalal is highly sought after for his expertise. He conducts
MRI tests at the hospitals that he works with. As opposed to Mammograms that use X-rays,
MRIs use radio waves and strong magnets. These waves enter the body and bounce-off, forming
a pattern that is determined by body characteristics and the nature of disease. The pattern is
transmitted by the computer into a picture, which is reflected on a screen. While conducting an
MRI for detecting breast cancer, a contrast liquid known as gadolinium needs to be introduced
into a vein before or while scanning for improving the quality of detection. Dr. Amish Dalal
studies the MRI and advises the next course of action.
