It is designed specifically to compress the breast during imaging and is intended to visually evaluate the anatomy and function of blood and lymphatic vessels within the breast. Often referred to as a digital mammography system (DMS) it is typically used for breast cancer screening or during biopsy procedures (e.g., placement of biopsy markers, stereotactic biopsy). It is designed to capture two-dimensional (2-D) x-ray images, however may include software intended to process multiple images to create a three-dimensional (3-D) image/model (tomosynthesis).)
