Understanding your imaging options matters.

A 3D mammogram (tomosynthesis) captures multiple thin image slices of the breast.
Contrast-Enhanced Mammography (CEM) combines mammography with contrast to provide additional imaging information in certain clinical situations. 🔬

The most appropriate test depends on your individual circumstances and your clinician’s assessment.

🧡 WBI Harmony Day Celebration

We didn’t celebrate Harmony Week on time…
and that was intentional.

Some of our team were observing Ramadan, so we chose to wait —
because at WBI, inclusion means celebrating together, not separately.

Yesterday was filled with:

🌏 Different cultures
🍽️ Delicious shared food
👗 Beautiful traditional attire
🧡 Laughter, connection, and joy

It was more than just a celebration —
it was a reflection of who we are as a team.

✨ A big congratulations to Sandhya, our Best in Costume winner, voted by her peers 👏

💛 Why this matters

At WBI, we believe:

It’s not about celebrating on time.
It’s about making sure everyone feels seen, respected, and included.

Because when our team feels this way,
our care becomes more compassionate and more human.

🧡 Everyone belongs at WBI.

Happy Harmony Week 🌏

Understanding your breast health involves two important components: 🌸

Self-awareness – knowing what is normal for your breasts and noticing any changes.

Screening – imaging recommended by your healthcare provider based on age, risk factors, or symptoms.

Both are important, but they serve different purposes. Only a qualified healthcare professional can advise which imaging is appropriate for your individual situation. 🤝

When should you start mammograms?

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer. The right time depends on your age, medical history, family history, and whether you have any breast symptoms.

Some women may begin imaging from age 40 onwards, while others under 40 may be referred earlier due to specific risk factors or clinical concerns. Imaging may also be recommended at any age if symptoms such as a lump, ni**le discharge, persistent pain, or skin changes are present.

The most appropriate timing and type of imaging should always be determined in consultation with your GP or specialist. 🤝

Breast health needs can change throughout life. 🌸

20s–30s: Clinical assessment may be recommended if symptoms or risk factors are present.

40s–50s: Discussions with your healthcare provider about screening and personalised risk may be appropriate.

60+: Ongoing monitoring may be advised based on individual health and clinical findings.

Decisions about screening or imaging should always be made in consultation with a qualified healthcare professional. 🤝

Finding a solid breast lump on imaging can feel overwhelming. 💭

In some situations, your clinician may recommend a biopsy to better understand what the lump represents. A biopsy allows a small sample of tissue to be examined in a laboratory, helping guide accurate diagnosis and next steps. 🔬

While short-term follow-up imaging may be suitable in certain cases, further assessment is sometimes advised based on individual clinical findings. Every recommendation is made with careful consideration of your personal history and imaging results.

If a biopsy has been suggested, speak openly with your GP or specialist so you feel informed and supported in your decision-making. 🤝

Fibroadenomas are common, benign breast lumps 🌸

In most cases, they do not require treatment unless they grow or cause symptoms. Imaging and, in some situations, a biopsy can help your healthcare provider clarify their nature. 🔬

Management decisions are always personalised. Only a qualified healthcare professional can guide what is appropriate for your individual circumstances. 🤝
