Mammography at Bellin Health is staffed with Registered Mammography Technologists using both Digital and traditional mammography equipment. All mammograms are double read, by both the Radiologist and the R2 Image Checker. Bellin has been using this FDA approved computer aided detection (CAD) system since January of 2000.
Comprehensive - (Screening and Diagnostic):
Results will be given to you before you leave the Hospital Center. The Radiologist reviews your images while you wait. If needed, additional views or Ultrasound are also performed. Exceptions to getting immediate results would be 1) if we are waiting for your comparison films from another facility. 2) if you have a Saturday Express appointment in which case your result will be mailed to you within one week.
