Evaluation
Waiting for test results is an anxious time. At Mercy, we understand that and strive to deliver mammography, ultrasound, MRI, and biopsy results to you and your referring provider as quickly as we can. While quick response is important, accuracy is paramount. That's why all breast-related biopsies are reviewed by not one, but two pathologists before the results are released.
