Diagnostic Breast Care in a Comfortable Setting
At all times St. Luke’s aims to be the pre-eminent provider of women’s imaging services. To this end, St. Luke’s created the St. Luke's Regional Breast Center. Women who have breast health concerns have access to this facility which provides diagnostic mammograms or higher-level breast imaging exclusively. In most instances, women requiring diagnostic follow-up care are offered an appointment the same day and potential for same-day biopsy if needed. Also, in an effort to help patients relax, the Center offers these services in a serene, nurturing environment and features private, spacious changing rooms with Internet access.
St. Luke's Regional Breast Center offers diagnostic imaging exclusively and has been designated a Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology.
Expert Staff Specially-Trained in Breast Health
In addition to providing the best digital imaging available today, the St. Luke’s Regional Breast Center has certified technologists and breast health nurses as well as radiologists who are dedicated to breast imaging. The radiologists will study the images and provide verbal results during the appointment. In many cases, a same-day biopsy can be performed for the fastest possible results. The breast health nurses guide patients through every step of the diagnostic process. All this means that women will receive all the information they need to make good health care decisions in a timely fashion.
