You love your 2D mammography system. It’s been a workhorse for you, it’s delivered the high-quality images you’ve wanted and it’s made great business sense for you. But if you’re like most medical imaging facilities, you’re beginning to look at 3D systems. After all, their images are better at detecting cancer than 2D systems, especially in fatty and/or dense breasts. And now that more insurance providers are paying increased reimbursement for 3D studies, it makes more sense than ever to take the leap and invest in a 3D system.

These days, it’s all about the bottom line and figuring out ways to get more bang out of your budget for medical imaging equipment. And while buying brand new can deliver up-to-the-moment technology, oftentimes a hospital, radiology clinic or heath care facility can get the quality medical imaging their patients need with equipment that’s previously owned or refurbished.
