*Capital budgets for full-field digital mammography (FFDM) and 3D tomosynthesis platforms range from roughly $50,000 for a pre-owned 2D unit to $265,000+ for a new premium 3D tomosynthesis system. The spread is wide because imaging mode (2D vs. 3D/DBT), AI integration, biopsy cap
Mammography systems are dedicated low-dose X-ray imaging units used for breast cancer screening and diagnostic workup, with modern platforms offering full-field digital mammography (FFDM) and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT/3D).
