About

The Tubby Adkisson Mobile Mammography Coach is fully equipped with 3D digital mammography equipment to conduct mammograms at remote locations throughout Hunt County without a referral by a doctor. Named for local volunteer and beloved community figure Nita “Tubby” Adkisson, the coach makes scheduled visits to businesses, churches, and other locations throughout Hunt County. The coach’s goal is to help screen busy women on-the-go and provide early detection of breast cancer.

Services

A mammogram is a specialized X-ray used to analyze breast tissue. This method of imaging and radiology can help screen for abnormal changes before a lump is large enough to be felt.

Mammography is a valuable breast cancer screening tool, but it can also aid in the early detection of other breast diseases. Its low levels of radiation make it a safe diagnostic procedure.

A bone density test is a simple, painless, and noninvasive procedure that can detect osteoporosis. During this test, an enhanced form of X-ray technology called a Bone Densitometer measures the bone density of your spine, wrist, and hip. Your exam results can also determine the severity of bone loss and assist in monitoring your response to treatment.

Requires a Physician’s Referral.
