A modern mammography unit has been installed at the advisory and diagnostic center of City Clinical Hospital No. 1 in Odesa, located at: 38 Bolgarska Street.
The state-of-the-art Giotto Class 3D-C mammograph, featuring second-generation tomosynthesis, enables the creation of a three-dimensional map of breast tissue with slices as thin as 1 mm. This capability allows physicians to detect even the smallest changes at the earliest stages, significantly improving prevention and treatment outcomes.
Key advantages of the Giotto Class 3D-C mammography include:
- High diagnostic accuracy – tumors can be identified before any symptoms appear.
- Minimal radiation exposure.
- Excellent image quality – a wide scanning angle, high sharpness, improved contrast, and reduced noise ensure clear and informative images.
- Comfort and speed during examinations.
Examinations are provided free of charge with an electronic referral from a family doctor or a specialist such as a mammologist, obstetrician-gynecologist, or oncologist.
The mammography room No. 718 operates on the 7th floor of the City Clinical Hospital No. 1 at 38 Bolgarska Street, from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, Monday through Friday.
Prior appointments can be made by calling the hospital's contact center at (0800) 33 23 01.

Women at risk should have mammograms annually – this includes those with close relatives who have had breast cancer or those suspected of having tumors found during manual examination or ultrasound.
