When patients or new staff members inquire why mammography skin markers are used in your breast imaging center what do you tell them?
You know the Beekley Skin Marking System® for Mammography provides clear communication for radiologists with an effective way to identify nipples, raised moles, surgical scars, palpable masses, and non-palpable areas of concern or pain for precise interpretation. As a result, mammograms can be more accurate, and callbacks can be reduced.
You know each of the five shape serves a distinct purpose:- Nipple markers improve accuracy and can be used on every patient to differentiate a retro areolar finding from the nipple.
- Mole markers can eliminate questions and help reduce avoidable callbacks.
- Scar markers act as a reference point and eliminate confusion by identifying the location of a biopsy or previous surgery.
- Palpable mass markers readily identify the symptomatic area.
- Non-palpable areas of concern or focal pain markers indicate the precise location of an area in question.
But, how do you synthesize that information in a simple and engaging way?
