Any woman having symptoms of breast disease i.e. lump, pain, and discharge from the nipple, nipple retraction or skin texture changes should undergo a mammogram in consultation with her doctor. Mammography can help to decide whether a lump is malignant and can be a guide for biopsy.
The goal of screening mammography is to detect breast cancer when it is too small to be felt by the physician. It can pick up lumps of even 3-5 mm. For women in the age group 20-40 years monthly breast self-examination and examination by a physician (PE) every 3 years is a must. For those between 40-49 years women should have mammograms every 1-2 years combined with monthly breast self-exam and yearly physical examination. From the age of 50 years women should have yearly mammograms combined with monthly breast self-exam and yearly physical examination.

Colour Doppler (Epiq 7G) is an ultrasound test in which colours are superimposed on an image of a blood vessel to indicate the speed and direction of blood flow in the vessel. Colour Doppler is a useful and non-invasive screening tool. This state-of-the-art equipment armed with multiple probes can do carotid, peripheral vascular, renal, small parts and gynecological Doppler studies. A colour Doppler test is one of the main ways to test for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) -- a condition where blood clots form in veins deep in your body.
The colour doppler test can be used to check blood flow in veins, arteries, and heart, to look for narrowed or blocked arteries, to see how blood flows after treatment, to look for bulging in an artery which is called an aneurysm and when it’s done on your belly, it can help find: blood flow problems with your liver, kidneys, pancreas, or spleen and abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Bone Mineral Densitometry and DEXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) are essentially the same. A bone density test is used to measure bone mineral content and density. It helps to detect osteoporosis at an early stage, monitor the treatment of osteoporosis, and assess the fat content of the body. Essentially, BMD is done for the Lumbar Spine and Hips, as these are the common bones that fracture due to osteoporosis.
