Clearly communicate areas of concern or focal pain that are not physically manifested with Altus®.

The Beekley Skin Marking System® for Mammography offers radiologists a simple and effective way to identify nipples, raised moles, surgical scars, palpable masses and non-palpable areas of concern or pain. As a result, interpreting mammograms may be faster and more accurate, helping you save more lives.

​

The system consists of five different Beekley Medical® skin markers, each with a distinctive and unmistakable shape to interpret on an image. A circle appearing on the image could only mean one thing – a raised mole. A line indicates an area of a previous surgery, a triangle symbolises a palpable mass, a solid dot is used to mark a nipple and a square to mark non-palpable areas of concern or pain.

​

Breast imaging centres using the Beekley Skin Marking System for digital, analogue and tomosynthesis mammograms report better communication, fewer questions, fewer additional views and permanent documentation.

Why use a square to mark non-palpable areas of concern or focal pain?

​

• Eliminate confusion on the area being marked with the new square shape.

• Provide permanent documentation since history charts can sometimes get lost.

• Facilitate faster read time with immediate identification of the area in question.
