Fujifilm’s mammography system will be used to meet the screening needs of women and support healthcare professionals in early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer.

The digital mammography system features a combination of hexagonal close pattern (HCP) image capture technology and intelligent image processing, optimising contrast and dose based on breast density.

"We will be able to provide more than 2,300 free clinical breast exams/mammograms to underserved women of our community."

White Memorial Medical Center president and CEO John Raffoul said: "This year alone, thanks to support from NBCF and other generous donors, we will be able to provide more than 2,300 free clinical breast exams/mammograms to underserved women of our community, of whom 45 will unfortunately test positive for cancer."
