£600,000 investment in KGH breast service
Kettering General Hospital has invested £600,000 in its breast imaging service to replace equipment and expand its breast screening capacity to continue to deliver three yearly mammograms to the women of North Northamptonshire when the coronavirus emergency ends.
The hospital has replaced an old 2D mammography biopsy machine with a state-of-the-art £350,000 3D machine which enables clinicians to better identify smaller lesions and cancers and perform quicker and more accurate biopsies.
It has also purchased a second mobile breast screening van which will enable it to perform up to 7,000 additional screenings for women each year – making the service quicker, and more convenient and accessible to local people.
