WellSpan Health shared information from Dr. John Nawa, a WellSpan radiologist, addressing why patients may receive a call after a screening mammogram.
According to Dr. Nawa, a callback does not necessarily mean cancer is suspected. Additional imaging is often requested to clarify unclear areas or confirm normal findings. The follow-up may include more mammogram images or an ultrasound to ensure accurate results.
More information about what to expect during a follow-up visit after a screening mammogram is available on WellSpan’s website: https://www.wellspan.org/…/why-you-might-get-a-call.
