  The MammoGrid project has delivered the first deployed instance of a
healthgrid for clinical mammography that spans national boundaries. During the
last year, the final MammoGrid prototype has undergone a series of rigorous
tests undertaken by radiologists in the UK and Italy and this paper draws
conclusions from those tests for the benefit of the Healthgrid community. In
addition, lessons learned during the lifetime of the project are detailed and
recommendations drawn for future health applications using grids. Following the
completion of the project, plans have been put in place for the
commercialisation of the MammoGrid system and this is also reported in this
article. Particular emphasis is placed on the issues surrounding the transition
from collaborative research project to a marketable product. This paper
concludes by highlighting some of the potential areas of future development and
research.
