Mobile Mammography Service
 Breast
cancer is one of the most common cancers among women.
Each year, one in every eight women in the United States
will be diagnosed with breast cancer. All women are
at risk for developing the disease. The good news is
that a woman's chance of surviving breast cancer may
be as high as 90 percent if it is detected early.
We offer a mobile mammography service
that makes it convenient for women to have a mammogram,
the best tool for identifying breast cancer in its
earliest stages. Scheduling your mammogram on our mobile
mammography unit offers many advantages.
Convenience and accessibility.
Our mobile mammography unit travels to both corporate
and community sites in Boyle and surrounding counties.
Pleasant, private atmosphere. Unique features
of our mobile unit include a waiting area, changing
room and a mammography suite designed with your comfort
and privacy in mind.
On-site registration. Once you arrive for
your mammogram, you will register on the van and
stay on the van until your mammogram has been completed.
The entire process, including your mammogram, takes
about 30 minutes.
Our mobile mammography unit is accredited
by the American College of Radiology and certified by
the Food and Drug Administration under the Mammography
Quality Standards Act.
All mammograms performed on the mobile
mammography unit are read with the aid of the R2 Image
Checker, a computer-aided detection system that can
detect suspicious lesions that may not be seen with
a typical mammogram screening. The R2 system is expected
to increase the number of breast cancers detected early,
possibly by as much as 20 percent. This system is also expected to detect
up to 70 percent of cancers that would not be found
without the system.
