The region’s first mobile mammography unit, offered by Mercy Health, has visits scheduled throughout the region.
The mobile mammography unit is customized for patient convenience and will deliver 3D mammograms to women age 40 and older. It is equipped with the newest 3D technology and offers patients the option of self-compression, meaning the patient will have the ability to control the compression once they are in position.
The unit will make access to mammography services easier as well as increase capacity. It will offer screenings at convenient locations throughout the 21 counties in Northwest Ohio for early diagnosis of breast cancer.
