There's never been a better time for breast cancer screening providers to consider upgrading to 3D tomo mammography. Early adopters of 3D tomo have been leveraging the technology to get greater accuracy and fewer unnecessary callbacks for several years.

While Siemens labs are not as popular when it comes to reinstallation here in the US, they are still quality systems that merit consideration. With that in mind, here's an overview of the systems offered by Siemens in the time since the Artis Zee.

When you're selecting the right C-arm for your pain management practice, "Bells and Whistles" is not the name of the game.
