Mobile Mammography Van

The Brown Cancer Center mobile mammography unit features a state-of-the-art LORAD M-IV Platinum System, which provides superior imaging and maximum patient comfort. The M-IV delivers high quality breast images by incorporating the innovative High Transmission Cellular (HTC™) Grid technology, which provides dramatically improved image contrast in all tissue, even denser breasts. The compression paddle adjusts to ensure a more uniform compression across the entire breast and improves immobilization of breast tissue, resulting in reduced mobile artifacts and superior image quality. Patients benefit by reduced exposure times, improved imaging, and a more comfortable exam.

Each year more than 6,000 women get their mammogram through the Brown Cancer Center’s mobile mammography program.

The mobile mammography program reaches women throughout the Louisville metro area through partnerships with local churches, community health clinics, and businesses. Partnerships with area corporations are a key component to the program’s outreach efforts.

In addition, the van reaches women across the state of Kentucky through health department clinics, rural outreach programs, and annual appearances at the Kentucky State Fair.
