Two types of exams, available on their own or combined
Mammography
We use equipment designed to reduce compression discomfort. Mammography is good at finding tiny changes (calcium deposits) before they form a lump.
3D Breast Ultrasound (ABUS)
Automatically scans the entire breast for a three-dimensional view. Well suited for people with dense breast tissue.
Who chooses our Quick Screening

Want results quickly without waiting
If you are a Setagaya resident aged 40 or over, the city breast cancer screening is a better value at a ¥1,000 co-payment.
MAMMOGRAPHY
About mammography
The breast is gently pressed flat between two plates and imaged with X-rays. Its strength is detecting tiny calcium deposits (microcalcifications) before they form a lump, and it is the standard exam for breast cancer screening.
Time
About 10 minutes (excluding changing and waiting)
Images
2 views of each breast (4 images in total)
* Not available during pregnancy. If you have breast implants or a pacemaker, please let us know when booking. The X-ray exposure is very small.
Worried about pain?
We use equipment designed to reduce compression discomfort. Everyone feels pain differently, so please tell us at any time during the exam if it becomes uncomfortable. Booking outside the days just before your period is said to make the exam less painful.
BREAST ULTRASOUND
About breast ultrasound
This exam uses ultrasound to create images of the inside of the breast. Our 3D breast ultrasound (ABUS) automatically scans the entire breast, so fewer areas are missed. It is painless and involves no radiation.
Time
About 15 minutes
Radiation
None (please consult us if you are pregnant or breastfeeding)
* Ultrasound is not good at showing microcalcifications (calcium deposits). Combining it with mammography lets each exam cover the other’s weak points.
An example of an ABUS image
Because ABUS scans the whole breast automatically, the same spot can be checked from several directions. The yellow circle marks an area the doctor flagged as a finding.
