When you are choosing a mammography system to use in your hospital or clinic, you will want to make sure that you take the time to think about whether the traditional, digital, or 3D option might be best for you. In the end, it is about choosing the machines that you feel will most benefit the patients who are visiting the clinic.

In addition, though, you also need to consider where you will be keeping the machine. Make sure you have plenty of room for the machine you want, so the patients and the techs who are using it are not in too cramped of a space when the procedure is being performed.

A mammography was once performed using screen-film cassettes, but times are changing and the technology being used is getting better than ever. Today, many of the doctors are using digital mammography systems instead. This type of mammography system will use digital receptors and computers instead of x-ray film to examine the breast tissue. In addition, some are using 3D mammography today.

 A mammography system will utilize low-energy x-rays as a means to examine the tissues in the human breast. The system is very useful as a screening and diagnostic tool.

Breast cancer is an unfortunately common disease, as with all types of cancer, it is easier to treat when it is caught as early as possible. Patients should be encouraged to have a mammogram at least once every two years, with their first starting at the age of 40. The system can help identify lumps and potential threats.

Many well-respected medical manufacturing companies are making mammography systems. Some of the names creating these machines today include Amico, GE Healthcare, DMS Imaging, Landwind Medical, IMS, Hologic, Siemens, Planmed, BMI, Perlong Medical, and Genoray.
