MEADE — Meade District Hospital is pleased to announce expanded access to advanced breast health screening through a new partnership with United Radiology Group, now offering mobile mammography services on-site at MDH.

United Radiology Group owns and operates the mobile mammography coach, which will travel to Meade District Hospital to deliver on-site imaging services to patients.

The coach features 3D tomosynthesis mobile mammography and Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) technology, enabling us to enhance local access to high-quality diagnostic care while helping patients avoid long-distance travel.

Compared with 2D mammography, 3D mammography enables earlier, more accurate breast cancer detection.

• Reduce unnecessary callbacks by up to 40 percent

• Detects up to 41 percent more invasive breast cancers.

• Improves screening accuracy for all women, regardless of age or breast density.

With 3D tomosynthesis, physicians evaluate breast tissue layer by layer rather than relying on a single 2D image. This process produces clearer and more accurate screenings.

Take charge of your breast health today. Call Meade District Hospital at 620-873-2141 and ask for the Radiology Department to learn more or schedule a mobile mammography appointment.
