"Spot magnification views are critical in the evaluation of microcalcifications and many masses.  We obtain high resolution magnification views with lower exposure times routinely when combining the Hixson (MammoSpot®) magnification stand and spot compression paddle (double spot compression)."

"The new MammoSpot® design improves visualization of anterior structures including nipple and increases the area visualized while maintaining quality double spot compression.  The anterior support arm is radiolucent which facilitates orientation and decreases ambient light during viewing."
