About Dr Herman Fourie

Dr. Herman Fourie has been dedicated to cancer care since graduating with an MBChB from the University of Pretoria in 1994. After completing his internship in Pretoria, he gained oncology experience at Maidstone Hospital Oncology Center in the UK, now known as The Kent Oncology Centre. Following his postgraduate training in the UK, Dr. Fourie returned to South Africa to specialize in Radiology at the University of Pretoria, completing his studies in 2006.

 

In 2007, Dr. Fourie took ownership of the Radiological Practice at Netcare Femina Hospital, where he continued his focus on cancer care, specializing in breast cancer screening. As part of a multidisciplinary team, he also addresses general female health conditions. In 2013, Dr. Fourie’s practice became the first in Pretoria to install the Hologic 3D Mammography unit, a game-changer that has enabled the detection of breast cancers at smaller sizes and earlier stages. As Dr. Fourie often emphasizes, “Early detection saves lives.”

Certainty with Confidence

This 3D mammography test uses revolutionary state of the art technology to view the inside of the breast layer by layer in 1mm-thin images.

Thorough with Diligence

Breast Tomosynthesis has been shown to find 30% more breast cancers because of earlier detection when compared with standard 2D mammography.

Quality without Compromise

With 4 practices across South Africa, we are on a mission to change the face of breast care in Pretoria.

Happy Client Stories

This was my first Mammogram, and I heard so many stories about how painful this would be. I thought it would experience discomfort during or after the Mammogram, but I was impressed — not at all! I was talked through the examination and was relaxed and felt safe because the Radiographer knew what she was doing.

I had my first Mammogram this week at the age of 50y. I could see that the practice was busy, and while dealing with that kind of burden, they still took the time to make me feel like I was the most important patient there that day; it was very special. Thanks to all of you.

I was put at ease right away and felt like everyone I encountered made me feel that they truly cared about my well-being and for me as a person. The staff was professional, kind, informative, and the service they gave me was just great. Thank you all!

Our Procedures

Ultrasound exam small

Ultrasound

An ultrasound scan is a medical test that uses high-frequency sound waves to capture live images from the inside of your body. It’s also known as sonography.

Mammogram test small

3D Mammograms

A 3D mammogram uses X-rays to create an image of the breast tissue. Many healthcare facilities and hospitals are adopting 3D mammogram technology due to the clear picture it gives of the breast tissue.

Osteoporosis small

Bone Density

Osteoporosis and osteopenia, conditions of low bone mass leading to an increased risk of bone fracture, are extremely common in women, especially after menopause when bone loss is accelerated.
