The Fujifilm system increases conspicuity of breast structures, accordingly, it develops the visibility of both dense and soft tissue and offers greater detection confidence. Dr. Michael Flood, radiologist at Putnam County Hospital, mentioned that "The higher resolution yields an earlier detection rate for calcification and cancer" Digital mammography was considered the most beneficial to females under the age of fifty, regardless of breast density, along with females with very dense breast and pre- or menopausal women regardless of their age.

The digital format enhances the quality of picture and permits a quicker exam. The recent system reduces the amount of radiation to which a patient is subjected by almost 22%.

If I could tell women one thing, I would tell them not to neglect their mammogram. It can save your life".
