Early Breast Cancer Detection, Made Simple
A mammogram screening is a low-dose X-ray of breast tissue used to detect early signs of breast cancer, often before a lump can be felt. In Dubai, DrPlus coordinates mammogram screening at DHA-licensed facilities for AED 499, including doctor referral, the scan itself, and a radiologist report reviewed with you by a DrPlus doctor.

Mammogram Screening FAQs
DrPlus coordinates mammogram screening for AED 499, which includes doctor referral, the digital mammogram at a DHA-licensed facility, the radiologist report, and a results review with a DrPlus doctor.
Most women feel brief pressure or mild discomfort while the breast is compressed for a few seconds per image. The procedure takes about 15 to 20 minutes and any discomfort passes quickly.
General guidance recommends annual or biennial mammograms starting at age 40, or earlier if you have a family history of breast cancer or other risk factors. DrPlus doctors can advise on the right schedule for you.
Most DHA-licensed facilities require a doctor's referral before performing a mammogram. DrPlus includes this referral in the AED 499 service, so you do not need to arrange it separately.
Radiologist reports are typically ready within 24-48 hours. A DrPlus doctor will then walk you through the results and next steps, if any are needed.
A mammogram uses low-dose X-rays and is the standard screening tool for women over 40, while a breast ultrasound uses sound waves and is often used as a follow-up for dense breast tissue or to evaluate a specific lump. Your DrPlus doctor will recommend the right test for your case.
Most UAE insurance plans cover annual screening mammograms for women aged 40 and above under preventive care benefits. DrPlus can confirm coverage with the partner facility before booking; the AED 499 coordination fee applies regardless of insurance status.
Avoid deodorant, talcum powder, or lotion on your chest and underarms on the day of the scan, as these can interfere with image clarity. Wear a two-piece outfit for easy changing, and schedule the appointment a week after your period when breasts are less tender, if applicable.
