The fully digital mammography system Mammomat Novation by Siemens Medical Solutions has now been approved for mobile screening. For the first time, breast cancer screenings are performed with digital systems built into trailer trucks. The trailers are connected to a stationary screening center where the final diagnosis is made. This type of mobile digital breast cancer screening is especially suitable for women living in rural communities or those who are more homebound than before. The first physicians using a fully digital system in a mobile environment are, among others, Dr. Norbert Uleer and Dr. Katrin Samse who, in addition to their practices operate a mobile mammography trailer in the area of Göttingen – Hildesheim – Hameln, Germany.
