New Breast Cancer Detector Allows Detailed 3D Imaging

My brother sent me this link on 3D mammography.

I share it with you since I am assigned to XCounter AB , a company making similar devices. Look out for the XC Mammo -3T.

Many ladies ask me about the pain using our system, so here is the rough numbers:

A conventional system applies a force equal to about 12 kg on a single breast.

Mechanical safety regulations set the maximum limit to 40kg, after that something mechanical should break.

Our XC Mammo -3T can thanks to 3D reconstruction do with a pressure of less than 6 kg.

Unfortunately the machine is not widely available yet. Unfortunately, my assignment ends soon.
