East Lancashire Hospital NHS Trust has invested in a wide range of equipment from Hologic.

Breast imaging clinical director and consultant radiologist Dr Dobrashian said: “These investments are good news for the service and good news for local women. They demonstrate our commitment to continually improve the service and keep pace with developments in available technology.”
