Question ID: 174100
Hello, 
  
I wish to find some information of medical institutes which conduct
Mammography screenings in the countries listed below. I'd be
particularly interested in obtaining details (names of contact people,
full address, contact info) of the adminstrative bodies (head
physicians, clinic managers and hospital administrators).
  
1) Germany. 
2) UK.  
3) Austria. 
4) Italy. 
5) Spain. 
6) Belgium. 
7) Portugal. 
8) France.

purplerain,

 I am currently working on your question and have found several
clinics in the UK and Germany. I haven't started on the other
countries yet. As you can imagine, the language barrier is a problem,
as many of the sites are not posted in English. Therefore, I find many
referencest to clinics or hospitals that conduct mammography screeings
in these countries, but I may only be able to provide you with the
name, and reference to the article which mentions the particular
institution. In some cases, I have even been unable to find the
address.
 How much of a list are you willing to accept? I don't want to
continue compiling a list that you will ultimately find unnacceptable.
However, I will do my best to find as complete information as I can
for the countries you have listed.
 Also, I cannot give you much indication of how many facilities I will
be able to provide for each country, using online resources. However,
if I can at least find one or two, you will at least have a starting
point for referrals and information for other clinics withing that
country. Is this acceptable?

purplerain,
 I have currently found 17 clinics in the UK, and a contact reference
for 19 clinics in Germany, participating in German Cancer Aid, as well
as the contact information for 3 more clinics in Germany.
  However, I have been totally stymied by so many websites that I
cannot translate, I will not continue unless you are willing to have
me continue, and possibly only find one or two for the other
countries. Or, you are willing to accept the names of clinics, (backed
up by the article which mentions their connection to mammography
screening) without a website or contact information because they are
not available in English.
 I may be able to find some more, but have put in a full day already
and don't want to continue without some parameters from you.

Hello, purplerain!

 I believe I have finally found enough information to provide you with
a satisfactory answer to your question. Although the search was
cumbersome and did not uncover as many resources as I would have
liked, you certainly have a good deal of information to start with!

 The primary problem is the lack of websites for facilities in most of
the European countries, coupled with the language barrier. Although I
found many links to hospitals and clinics, I was often met with the
awful "the page you requested cannot be found" message! When I did
find websites that worked, they were either very limited in their
information or not available in English. While I can detect the word
"mammography" in German, French and Spanish, I was not able to discern
those services on many hospital and clinic sites that may, in fact,
have them. Therefore, I left them out of the list.

 As you can see, many of the countries have only one or two sources
listed. Also, when I was able to find mammography services on a
facility site, there was usually no contact information for doctors,
administrators, etc. The best I could do was provide you with the
hospital or clinic contact.

 I was very surprised that there was not a list of mammography
services on the "European Breast Cancer Coalition" website. However,
they do provide links to the group contact in each country, so I have
provided those at the bottom under "Additional Sources."  I truly
believe that the Europa Donna contacts are your best bet for finding a
good list of mammography clinics in the countries of interest.

http://www.icr.ac.uk/cmagres/maribs/maribs.html

 "A new study has started in the UK which will investigate whether
magnetic resonance  imaging (MRI) is an effective way of screening
young women with a high risk of breast  cancer."
 "The Medical Research Council was asked to manage this area of
research on behalf of the  NHS, and asked a group of Scientists and
Clinicians, led by Professor Martin Leach, Director  of the Cancer
Research UK Clinical Magnetic Resonance Research Group at the
Institute of  Cancer Research and The Royal Marsden Hospital, to
design a multicentre study to investigate  whether MRI is a good
method for screening for breast cancer. The study has been approved by
 the MRC, and is also supported for clinical aspects by the NHS. It
will involve measurements  using advanced MRI techniques at some 17
major centres and in all regions of the UK. The  study is being
coordinated at the Institute of Cancer Research and Royal Marsden
Hospital,  with aspects of the research and analysis being funded at
the Universities of Cambridge,  Hull and Aberdeen."

"In addition to the clinic of Aschaffenburg the clinic the hospital
Alzenau-Wasserlos as  well as resident gynecologists participate in
the tele-mammography network. Prof. Dr.  Teichmann, project director
and leading gynecologist in Aschaffenburg, is convinced that  "the
number of unnecessary double examinations will be decreased. To
increase reading  quality and efficiency there is a great need for an
integrated diagnostic process  incorporating all participants".

"One aim with the project is to demonstrate the feasibility of CAD and
tele-mammography  under routine condition, i. e., outside of
university hospitals. Images are digitized from  conventional film
mammography. Later on direct digital mammography devices will replace
the  conventional systems. The digital mammography network installed
will also be a fundament for  cost-efficient high quality mammography
screening."

Additional Resources:

If you can read French, Spanish or German, the Global hospital
database has links to facilities in each country. I went through most
of them for Belgium, Spain, Italy, Austria, France and Portugal, and
either got links that didn't work or sketchy information with no
English translation. Perhaps you have some language skills and can
examine them more thoroughly!

To search for medical facilities in specific countries, you can visit

Click on the country or city, search under health services, and you
can find names of hospitals. I have cut and pasted many of these into
a search engine, with either no results or half-completed web pages.

===================================


 I truly hope this information will prove helpful to you. It is the
most comprehensive and detailed that I could find online. In order to
find some of the personal contacts you desire, you will probably have
to call the facilities directly.

Please let me know if any of the links do not work, as there are many
of them! Also, please don't hesitate to ask me if you need
clarification *before* rating my answer! I will be happy to help.

Request for Answer Clarification by purplerain-ga on 23 Mar 2003 04:56 PST
Hello umiat-ga,

I apologize I did not answer your comments earlier. I was not at my
desk till now.
Thank you for the hard work you put into. I am aware of the language
barriers due to the variety of countries I gave in my question. I
cannot rate your answer right now, since I haven't looked at all the
clinics you gave me. Is it ok with you? Is it very important for you
to have it now? I also have more countries to look in if you read the
former question I advertised (Turkey, Russia, Croatia, Slovenia and
Africa). So if you already have the specialization, maybe you would
like to give it a try?

Thank you once again for your hard work,
purplerain-ga

Clarification of Answer by umiat-ga on 23 Mar 2003 07:33 PST
purplerain,

 No, there is no need to rush at rating the question. Ratings are
simply a way for the researcher to have some idea of how the
questioner feels about the completeness or competency of the work and
answer. You are under no obligation, at all, to "rate" the answer.
Don't worry about that at all! Ratings are simply an "extra."
 I will be happy to try to tackle the other countries if you want to
formulate another question and price it accordingly. This is the type
of question that takes a considerable amount of time and work.
 If you would like me to try to find information on some other
countries, simple post another question with "For Umiat" in the
heading, and I will give it a try.
 However, Africa, by itself, encompasses a lot of countries. Would you
be happy with "any" of the country information in Africa, or do you
require a researcher to find information on "every" country.
 Try to be as clear as possible about your expectations if you want to
post another question, address it to me if you wish, and I will give
it a go!
