Wait times growing for mammograms - maybe there is an opportunity here?
Due to low reimbursement and high malpractice liabilities, more mammography centres are closing than opening at the rate of 2:1. This is leading to increased wait times for screening mammograms in the US?
As it is there are significant wait times for screening mammograms in the UK as well.
Do we sense an opportunity here?

What Oppurtunity? There are no standards in Mammography in India!
anybody can put up a mammography Machine - whether it is refurbished one & it does not meet the specifications set by AERB, it does not matter.
As for experience the less said the better. People attend for a week to a month as observers in various mammography Centers, and become Experts, reporting mammography.
Most of the Radiologist perform "Sonomammography"(inappropriate term),& I wonder how they will report outsourced Mammography?
Litigation for substandard Mammography in India is bound to take place, sooner than later.

Why don't you do something about it. All it takes is for one or two people to file a PIL or something and BARC will be forced to take action against those centres that don't meet criteria.
