Mammography

For most screening practices the answer is yes. Peer-reviewed studies on Hologic Dimensions 3D show 20 to 65% better invasive cancer detection and up to 40% fewer patient callbacks compared with 2D alone, which materially affects reimbursement and patient retention. ARRAD can help you model the payback against refurbished 3D pricing before you commit.

Every mammography unit we ship is tested against ACR phantom image quality standards and arrives with documentation your medical physicist needs for the MQSA annual survey. We coordinate physics testing, technologist QC training, and the equipment evaluation paperwork that FDA inspectors will ask for during your initial MQSA certification.

Hologic Dimensions and 3Dimensions dominate US installed base, which means easier hiring of experienced techs and broader software ecosystem (C-View, Clarity HD, 3DQuorum, Genius AI). The GE Senographe Pristina has a quieter patient experience and a strong contrast-enhanced mammography story. ARRAD stocks both and will quote head-to-head based on your case mix and budget.

A professionally refurbished Dimensions 3D typically lands at 40 to 60% below a new Hologic quote, with the exact number depending on configuration (3000 through 9000 series), software licenses (C-View, I-View CEM, 3DQuorum), and warranty length. ARRAD provides line-item quotes so you can see exactly which licenses are bundled and which are optional.

A Hologic Selenia or Dimensions amorphous selenium detector generally delivers 7 to 10 years of clinical use before degradation requires replacement. ARRAD operates a detector exchange program that ships a calibrated replacement panel before you return the failed unit, which keeps screening volume protected and avoids the multi-week downtime of an OEM RMA.
