Streamlining mobile mammography services. Concern over loss of quality.
Mobile mammography services can offer low-cost film screening to large numbers of women.

While low costs are primarily a function of high volume, radiologists caution against allowing unacceptable rates of false-negative results to occur in the screening process.
