Abstract:
As you can see, there are many options in mammography units. This article is not meant to recommend one unit or manufacturer over another, but rather to inform consumers that all units have assets to help technologists acquire the perfect mammogram. This article is meant to make you think about the pros and cons as you consider purchasing new mammography equipment. Though it may seem wise and certainly easier to equip your multiple-unit site(s) with one manufacturer's equipment or even one model, it might truly be wise to have a little variety; this addresses shortcomings of a particular unit. If you provide technologists with a mammography system with which they are comfortable and feel they can address any issues-accommodating disabled patients, patients with breast implants or patients with dense breast tissue-you will see the perfect mammograms you desire.
