Marketing director Jim Culley said that a large number of screening sites in the US use analog photographs, which can lose image quality when they are digitized. R2 DigitalNow HD can digitize older film-based mammograms, while retaining image quality.

In another study carried over about 100,000 women between the age group of 50 and 62 years indicated that the best interval for screening was every three years, which contradicts arguments that women should have mammograms more frequently.
