The American Cancer Society, the Food Bank for New York City and Mount Sinai hospital teamed up to bring the mobile screening van to New Yorkers.
The American Cancer Society has set up mobile mammogram screenings across the city. Reporter Lindsay Tuchman has the details.A mobile mammogram van is helping people get screened for breast cancer across New York City.
"One out of eight women in the United States will get breast cancer. What's important about the mobile van is not only that itis convenient, but you don't need a prescription. Finding a doctor that can give you a prescription can be a barrier for some women," said Dr. Laurie Margolies, director of Breast Imaging for Mount Sinai.
"This is incredible technology. It is the same 3-D mammogram that you will get in most of the Mount Sinai facilities, with the same artificial intelligence used to help the radiologists. That means that not only is the radiologist reading your mammogram, but we also have artificial intelligence giving a second opinion on each mammogram that is done in this van," said Margolies.
