MODEL 163 BREAST COMPRESSION TEST DEVICE

Breast Compression Test Device Model 163
Appropriate compression of the breast may be the single most important parameter of dedicated screen  film mammography.  Firm compression of the breast in screen film mammography lowers the radiation dose to patients, enhances image contrast and definition, and improves visibility of pathologies.    The Gammex 163 Breast Compression device measures the compression force in automatic and manual modes to assure accuracy and reproducibility. The gauge features a maximum force reading memory which indicates the peak force applied.
