A physician can zoom in, magnify and optimize different parts of the breast tissue, enhancing readability and interpretation of the images. Plus, the images can be digitally sent anywhere in the world to be viewed by another physician.

Compared to conventional film, digital images give better visibility of the breast, particularly near the skin line and chest wall. They're ideal for women with implants. For women with dense breast tissue, digital is far superior and may involve less radiation than a standard mammogram. In addition, digital exams usually take less than half the time of traditional exams and result in a 20 to 30 percent reduction in callbacks.
