Abstract
The purpose of this article is to describe how to establish a cost-effective mobile mammography program on the basis of examples from a 20-year experience with film-screen and digital mammography units. Mobile mammography programs can reduce many barriers to breast cancer screening faced by medically underserved women. Finding and maintaining resources, having appropriate equipment and infrastructure, and having a dedicated team with an efficient workflow are the key elements of establishing a cost-effective mobile mammography program.
