503-6Mobile Mammography
Hillsboro Medical Center is the only mobile mammography program in Oregon that brings 3-D mammography (digital breast tomosynthesis) to locations around the community.
Our program provides a fast and effective alternative for women to receive their regular mammograms. We offer:
- Advanced technology for detection of breast abnormalities and breast cancer.
- A coordinated team of technologists, radiologists and primary care providers.
- Exams performed in a private and safe setting.
- Convenient access to mammograms closer to home and work.
What to expect when getting a mammogram
Checking in: You will be greeted and checked in by our mobile van coordinator. She will help you fill out the appropriate paperwork and escort you to the changing room.
Private room: Privacy is an important part of your care. We have individual rooms where you change into a gown. The rooms have direct access to the exam area.
Imaging experts: A female technologist will perform the screening while you are standing in front of the 3D mammogram device.
Results: The images are sent to our radiologists who read and compare the mammograms with prior images.
