Follow-Up Services After a Screening Mammogram

St. Luke’s offers you convenient, timely access to superior diagnostic breast imaging services when a screening mammogram indicates the need for follow-up. Our services include:

  • Diagnostic mammography (using 3-D technology in all of our locations)

  • Automated breast ultrasound (Nampa only)
  • Image-guided needle biopsy
  • Stereotactic breast biopsy
  • Pre-operative breast localization
  • Direct access to breast MRI and nuclear medicine sentinel node procedure

What to Expect: Receiving Your Results

When you come in for your diagnostic breast imaging and/or biopsy, we'll schedule a follow-up phone appointment with you to review your results. A nurse navigator will call you to discuss the imaging and/or pathology findings and any next steps.  

What is a Nurse Navigator?

A cancer diagnosis brings a lot of new information and emotions. Sometimes it can be difficult to know what comes next and who can help. Our breast cancer navigators are registered nurses with years of experience in cancer care. They will provide guidance as you move through your cancer journey and will be your point of contact for questions.
