Your peace of mind is important

That’s why we offer state-of-the-art breast diagnostics, from digital mammograms to individualized biopsy techniques at Mercyhealth. From annual checkups to breast cancer treatment, we are here to help you find your way to optimum health. Also, we hope to remove the mystery and uncertainty of any testing — routine or not — or diagnosis, so you can feel comfortable asking questions and making plans with physicians, nurses, navigators, and other Mercyhealth associates you can trust.

We offer a variety of diagnostic procedures for annual checkups and to diagnose disease:

• Digital mammograms, which are viewed by physicians on a computer screen and can be lightened and darkened to see better detail. Digital mammograms are especially helpful for certain age groups and types of breast tissue.
•  Breast MRI uses magnetic resonance to detect breast cancer and is especially useful for some patients.
•  Breast ultrasound uses sound waves to screen the breast and is used in conjunction with other screening techniques.
• Imaging-guided breast biopsy procedures
  • Stereotactic breast biopsy
  • Ultrasound-guided biopsy
  • MRI-guided biopsy

For women who have had a mastectomy, the certified prostheses fitters at the Mercy Women’s Boutique in Janesville offer a variety of prostheses, swimwear, undergarments, headwear and more.
