Establishing a cost-effective mobile mammography program involves securing resources, appropriate equipment, and a dedicated team. This approach can significantly reduce barriers to breast cancer screening for underserved women.

Area of Science:

Radiology
Public Health
Healthcare Management

Background:

Mobile mammography programs address disparities in breast cancer screening access.
Underserved populations often face significant barriers to obtaining regular mammograms.
A 20-year experience provides a robust foundation for evaluating mobile screening strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

To outline the establishment of a cost-effective mobile mammography program.
To leverage a two-decade experience with both film-screen and digital mammography units.
To provide a practical guide for implementing mobile breast cancer screening services.

Main Methods:

Review of a 20-year operational history of mobile mammography units.
Analysis of cost-effectiveness based on film-screen and digital mammography data.
