Urgent Mammograms

Questionable Lump. Unquestionable Service.

A suspicious lump can create worry. In an effort to be responsive and reassuring to our patients, the Radiology Department at Chester County Hospital has established a rapid appointment program, where patients who notice a lump at home can call and be scheduled for an appointment quickly.

After your primary care physician or gynecologist has seen you and performed a physical exam, call the Radiology Department and you can be seen within 24 hours. Urgent appointments for diagnostic mammograms are held aside each day for these types of requests. Patients will need to bring with them a prescription for the mammogram from their physician. Once at the Women's Imaging Center, the patient will have the benefit of our digital technology, results that will be read immediately, our Breast Care Coordinator's assistance and the new spectrum of services offered at Penn Women's Specialty Center.
