Diagnostic Breast Services

Mercy Cancer Care offers a full range of interventional and diagnostic radiology services. If further evaluation is recommended following a diagnostic digital mammogram or breast ultrasound, the patient will meet with members of the multidisciplinary team, including the cancer care coordinator/nurse navigator to have questions answered and learn more about the testing moving forward.

In addition to diagnostic digital mammography and breast ultrasounds, Mercy Health System facilities offer:

• Ultrasound-guided core biopsy
• Ultrasound-guided cyst aspirations
• Ultrasound-guided needle localizations
• MRI (for diagnostic and screening of high risk individuals)
• Mammography-guided needle localization
• Stereotactic core biopsy
• Sentinel node injection and nuclear scan
• Mammosite for Breast Cancer Care
• Stereotactic Breast equipment
• Breast MRI with Dyna CAD
• Breast and prostate ultrasound biopsies
• PET (positron emission tomography)

Patients who are diagnosed with breast cancer or another breast abnormality may return to their nearest Mercy hospital for further treatment, including surgery.
