Screen Test Mobile Digital Mammography -  Alberta Schedule

Screen Test Program Information
 
As a program of Alberta Health Services Cancer Screening Programs, Screen Test provides mammograms to approximately 24,000 Alberta women every year. Screen Test was launched in 1990 with two clinics – one in Edmonton and one in Calgary. The mobile mammography program started in 1991. Screen Test is a part of the Alberta Breast Cancer Screening Program (ABCSP).
 
The two Screen Test mobile digital mammography units are 53-foot trailers providing services to over 100 communities each year with one providing services for southern Alberta and one providing services for northern Alberta. These trailers are “clinics on wheels” complete with a reception room, dressing rooms and an exam room. The mobiles are equipped with state of the art digital equipment and all services are provided on board the trailers.

• Women aged 50-74 who have no breast symptoms and have not had a breast cancer diagnosis
