Small medical centers may now provide this minimally invasive service without having to own expensive technology. MoBx brings the technology to hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers including state of the art digital stereotactic mammographic equipment and highly trained, compassionate women mammographic technologists. Patients no longer need to undergo expensive, open surgical biopsy for mammographic abnormalities. They need not wait long periods of time for biopsy results nor travel long distances to major medical centers for this procedure. With MoBx, patients can get their care locally by their own radiologists or surgeons and know they are getting the best that modern medical science can offer. New!
