Mobile Mammography RV – Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect during my mobile mammogram?

Your experience on the Mobile Mammography RV is similar to having a mammogram in a traditional imaging center.

During your appointment:

  • A certified imaging technologist will guide you through the exam
  • The mammogram typically takes about 15-20 minutes
  • Images are captured using advanced 3D mammography technology
  • Your comfort, privacy and safety are prioritized throughout the visit

After your exam, images are reviewed by qualified medical professionals following the same protocols used at GVMH.

Is the Mobile Mammography RV as accurate as an in hospital mammogram?

Yes. The Mobile Mammo RV uses the same advanced 3D mammography technology and follows the same clinical standards as imaging performed inside the GVMH facility.

Patients receive the same quality, accuracy and expert care — now in a more convenient location.
