Breast Imaging
Carle Breast Imaging is committed to your breast health. It’s here you’ll find four fellowship trained mammographers specializing in breast imaging – the largest team in central Illinois. They oversee mammography services and lead an expert team dedicated to the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer.
Following your initial mammogram, if a diagnostic mammogram is needed to further evaluate breast tissue or changes in the breast, our breast imaging Nurse Navigator will assist with coordinating appointments and provide guidance and support through the breast imaging process.
