Mammography safely images the internal tissue of the breast by using low dose exposure to detect breast disease.  Compression is the key to high quality images.  Compression also decreases radiation dose to the breast. 

IMI is also pleased to be a "softer mammogram provider".  MammoPad, a soft foam cushion, can help with the discomfort many women feel during mammography.  The FDA cleared cushion is placed on the surface of the image detector, providing women with a softer, more comfortable mammogram.  Clinical studies show three out of four women experience an average 50% decrease in discomfort with MammoPad.  The cushion does not interfere with image quality.
