Radiologists and Technologists with Expertise in Breast Imaging and Breast Biopsies

Mercy’s Center for Women's Imaging includes a team of radiologists who are completely devoted to only breast imaging - a factor that differentiates our Center from many other outpatient radiology centers. Our doctors read breast imaging studies on a daily basis and review more than 14,000 breast imaging related studies as a team each year.

All of the imaging studies at our Center are performed by highly-skilled and trained technologists who are dedicated solely to the field of breast imaging. All of our technologists are certified in mammography, ultrasound or MRI and have special expertise in performing the exams and addressing specific patient concerns.
