Appropriate compression of the breast maybe the single most important parameter ofdedicated 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.
