ACR-Ready. MQSA-Compliant. CDL-Free. Built in 50 Days. Powered by Solana Solar.
A mobile mammography unit is a purpose-built van housing a complete breast imaging system — digital mammography equipment, a lead-shielded imaging bay, a private patient changing area, a clinical-grade DICOM workstation, and all required utility systems — installed inside a standard full-size van chassis. The result is a fully self-contained screening clinic that drives to patients rather than requiring patients to travel to a fixed facility.
Odulair designs and manufactures mobile mammography vans from the ground up at our Tennessee facility. Unlike competitors who convert used vehicles or install aftermarket shells, every Odulair unit is engineered as a clinical system from day one — with radiation shielding, electrical load calculations, DICOM connectivity, and workflow ergonomics built into the chassis specification, not retrofitted afterward.
Mobile mammography programs serve hospitals, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), state health departments, breast cancer nonprofits, large employers, and health systems seeking to expand screening access into rural and underserved communities — wherever fixed facilities cannot reach or sustain a program.
The onboard layout of an Odulair mobile mammography van is designed around the four-stage clinical workflow required for a compliant breast screening encounter:
This linear workflow minimizes patient movement within the unit, reduces exam cycle time, and allows a two-person crew (one technologist, one patient coordinator) to complete 10 to 20 screening examinations per operating day depending on site conditions.
Odulair mobile mammography units are built exclusively on full-size van platforms — the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 and the Ford Transit T-350 — with a high-roof extended wheelbase configuration. Both platforms keep the loaded gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) under 26,000 lbs, which means no Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) is required. Any licensed driver on your clinical team can operate the vehicle.
This is a deliberate design choice. Larger RV-style or semi-trailer mammography coaches require a CDL, create parking challenges at community sites, and carry significantly higher fuel, maintenance, and insurance costs. The van platform fits standard parking spaces, navigates urban environments without restriction permits, and can be assigned to a broader pool of program staff.
The cargo area is structurally reinforced to support the static and dynamic loads of mammography equipment, lead shielding panels, and cabinetry. All penetrations for electrical, HVAC, and data conduit are sealed and weather-stripped at the factory — not in the field.
Every Odulair mobile mammography van is available with the proprietary Solana integrated solar and lithium battery power system — our answer to the industry-wide problem of generator dependency in mobile imaging programs.
Traditional mobile mammography units rely on diesel generators or shore power connections at every site, creating recurring fuel costs, noise in patient-facing environments, maintenance burdens, and emissions that conflict with health system sustainability commitments. The Solana system changes that equation entirely.
The Solana system is not available as an aftermarket add-on — it is engineered into every Odulair unit from the electrical design phase, ensuring safe, code-compliant integration with clinical-grade imaging equipment.
Operating a mobile mammography program requires compliance with a specific and non-negotiable set of federal regulations. Odulair units are designed to support your program’s compliance from day one — not as an afterthought.
The Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) requires federal certification of every mammography facility, including mobile units. MQSA mandates specific equipment performance standards, personnel qualifications for technologists and interpreting physicians, and defined quality control procedures. All Odulair mammography systems are installed as MQSA-capable platforms ready for FDA facility inspection.
The American College of Radiology (ACR) accreditation program for mammography is the gold standard for program quality and is required by most payers and health systems for reimbursement. ACR accreditation evaluates phantom image quality, clinical image quality, and personnel records. Odulair provides the equipment documentation packages needed to support your ACR application for both digital mammography and tomosynthesis modalities.
Patient privacy in a mobile screening environment requires physical and digital safeguards. The onboard layout provides a private changing area separated from the waiting zone and imaging bay. All data connectivity — DICOM transmission, patient registration, and image storage — is configured for encrypted, HIPAA-compliant operation. Network access policies and endpoint security are specified to meet covered entity requirements.
State Radiation Licensing: Mobile mammography vans must be registered with the radiation control program of each state in which they operate. Odulair provides the equipment specifications and shielding documentation typically required by state agencies for mobile X-ray registration applications.
Odulair delivers mobile mammography programs to a range of healthcare and public health organizations, each with distinct program goals:
Extend the reach of existing radiology and breast imaging departments into service areas without fixed imaging capacity. Mobile programs support community benefit obligations, rural outreach, and health equity initiatives.
Federally Qualified Health Centers serving low-income and uninsured populations can use mobile mammography to bring preventive screening to patients who face transportation barriers. Units operate under HRSA 330 grant program requirements.
State and county health agencies deploy mobile mammography as part of breast and cervical cancer early detection programs (NBCCEDP/CDC). Odulair units meet the vehicle and equipment requirements of federally funded cancer screening programs.
Mission-driven organizations focused on breast cancer awareness and screening access deploy mobile units as their core service delivery vehicle. Odulair works with nonprofits navigating grant-funded procurement requirements.
Large employers and insurance plan administrators deploy mobile mammography as an on-site employee wellness benefit, increasing screening rates among working-age women while reducing lost productivity from off-site medical appointments.
Rural health clinics and Indian Health Service programs use mobile mammography to bring screening to populations where the nearest fixed mammography center may be 60 or more miles away — closing one of the most significant access gaps in preventive cancer care.
For health systems and public health agencies evaluating capital investment in breast imaging capacity, mobile mammography units offer a compelling set of advantages over expanding or building fixed imaging sites:
| Factor | Mobile Mammography Unit | Fixed Facility Expansion |
|---|---|---|
| Capital Cost | Single vehicle investment; no construction | Construction, lease Monthly lease programs available, including through finance partners — subject to credit approval.hold improvement, permitting |
| Time to Deploy | 50 days build plus delivery | 12 to 36 months for construction or renovation |
| Geographic Reach | Goes where patients are — rural, urban, worksites | Patients must travel to a single location |
| Screening Volume Flexibility | Schedule to demand; scale by adding sites | Fixed capacity tied to physical space |
| Community Engagement | Visible presence at community events, employers, churches | Relies on patients self-scheduling appointments |
The mobile medical vehicle market includes a range of vendors: general-purpose RV conversion shops, used-vehicle dealers who install refurbished equipment, and brokers who coordinate builds across multiple subcontractors. Odulair is none of these.
Odulair is a purpose-built clinical system manufacturer. We design the vehicle, the electrical and power systems, the HVAC integration, the cabinetry, the equipment mounts, and the compliance documentation as a single integrated program — not a collection of separate vendor contracts. Every unit is built in our Tennessee facility under a consistent quality system.
A mobile mammography unit is a specially equipped van or vehicle containing a full digital mammography system, allowing breast cancer screenings to be delivered directly to communities, worksites, and underserved areas. The unit includes imaging equipment, a lead-lined bay, a patient changing area, and all support systems required for a complete clinical encounter.
Odulair mobile mammography units built on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter or Ford Transit chassis do not require a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). The total vehicle weight remains under 26,000 lbs, so any licensed driver can operate the vehicle — dramatically expanding your pool of eligible program staff.
Each unit includes a full-field digital mammography (FFDM) system with optional 3D tomosynthesis (digital breast tomosynthesis/DBT), a DICOM-connected clinical workstation, a lead-lined imaging compartment meeting NCRP shielding standards, and a private patient changing area. All systems are configured to support MQSA and ACR accreditation requirements.
Odulair’s standard lead time is 50 days from signed contract to delivery. As a direct manufacturer — not a dealer or broker — every unit is built to specification in our Tennessee facility. There are no third-party conversion shops or intermediaries in our supply chain, which keeps timelines predictable and quality consistent.
Yes. Odulair’s proprietary Solana solar and battery system allows the mammography unit to operate without shore power or a generator in most conditions, reducing operating costs and eliminating idle noise and emissions. The Solana system is engineered into the unit from the ground up — not an aftermarket add-on — ensuring safe integration with clinical imaging equipment.
