A MammoPad is a cushion which results in a more comfortable mammogram for most women, without affecting image quality.

At this facility we believe you mammogram deserves a second look. A R2 Image Checker CAD is a software application that identifies and marks regions of interest on images that may warrant a second review by the Radiologist.
The main benefit of Digital Mammography is the ability that the radiologist has to view and manipulate the image for close ups of specific areas of interest.
