MammoVest® – Revolutionizing Hands-On Training
Finally, a response to the need for a safe, comfortable and effective trainer for mammography technologists to practice positioning!
The MammoVest® Positioning Trainer is a MUST HAVE for any breast imaging clinic or mammography training program.
Although mammography is the gold standard for initial breast cancer screening, 10-30% of breast cancers can be missed at mammography.(1) Errors in breast positioning are the leading cause of repeat exams and technical callback appointments. MammoVest® Simulator for Initial and Continued Education in Mammography Positioning was created as the first validated training tool designed to help improve and standardize the positioning skills of mammography technologists.
Save Time

technique with reliable access to repeatable hands-on training - Avoid waiting on patient consent or a live model for demonstration
and practice - Accelerate student learning and onboarding of new technologists
Save Money
- Staffing shortages and idle mammography machines create
significant financial losses for clinics - Streamline and fast-track technologist training to maximize
machinery use - Avoid costly callback appointments, reputational damage,
mandated fees, and clinical closures related to poor positioning
Save Lives
- Detecting malignancies during radiological review relies on the
technologist’s ability to capture all the breast tissue consistently - Enhanced proficiency leads to more accurate diagnosis,
improved patient outcomes and reduced cancer deaths
