How to initiate and operate a low-cost screening mammography center.
An in-depth "how-to" report on initiating and operating a low-cost screening mammography facility is presented. It is based on a successful program of this type in Charlotte, North Carolina, and includes information on feasibility determination, financial analysis, site selection and preparation, equipment, public relations, promotion, and operational details. The authors believe that use of such a model, with modification as necessary, should result in a successful program and a valuable community service.
