The mobile mammography units provide mammograms on wheels. The two units travel across Idaho, especially stopping at under-served areas. The units are staffed my mammography techs inside the mobile unit patients can receive a mammogram in just about 20 minutes. They see up to 25 patients a day on the mobile unit.
