Diagnostic Services

The mission of the Breast Diagnostic Center is to diagnose breast disease and to also treat patients with benign breast problems. We provide a full spectrum of breast care. If you have received a screening mammogram that raises concern, or if you have new breast pain or nipple discharge or have felt something in your breast, you may require further diagnosis. Our breast care specialists provide expert diagnostic services in a relaxing atmosphere. We use the very latest in diagnostic equipment for breast imaging including digital mammography, ultrasound, MRI and image guided breast biopsies.

Established patients benefit from same-day diagnostic mammography, in which they receive their work-up and results directly from a radiologist or technologist to either reduce anxiety or to move quickly to a treatment plan. Should any follow-up tests or procedures be required, we work with you to schedule them.

This same-day turn-around time can help reduce your anxiety. It also allows Loyola to return the results to your referring physician faster. Lastly, and most importantly, should further care be required, a plan can be developed and implemented more quickly.

Because most breast concerns will turn out to be benign (not a cancer), education is an important part of the diagnostic process. Our team of specialists will meet with you to answer your questions and keep your primary physician fully informed every step of the way.

Should your breast workup or routine screening studies ever reveal a breast cancer, Loyola provides ongoing care by a nationally recognized Breast Cancer team.
