Western Imaging is certified as a Softer Mammogram Provider®, a distinction awarded only to an elite group of healthcare facilities. That means we provide a soft foam cushion, called MammoPad®, for each woman's personal use during every screening mammogram on our advanced digital mammography equipment.

The MammoPad breast cushion was designed for women by a female breast surgeon.

A recent study sponsored by the National Cancer Institute concluded that for certain groups, digital mammography provided more accurate diagnostic information. This study confirms the importance of continuing to provide patients with access to advanced innovations in women’s health.
MammoPad® has already helped millions of women ease the discomfort of getting a mammogram. MammoPad was designed by a female breast surgeon to provide a Softer Mammogram and make mammography more comfortable. The cushion brings warmth, comfort, and cleanliness to the experience.
Clinical studies prove the breast cushion significantly reduces the discomfort and cold that many women feel during mammography. About 70% of women reported it reduced their discomfort by half. MammoPad is an adhesive-backed, single-use cushion is FDA-cleared and has no effect on image quality.

What women are saying about
the MammoPad
"The pad made a dramatic difference. It really made the mammography equipment a lot warmer and softer.”
"The MammoPad definitely reduced the amount of discomfort I felt during the mammogram procedure. I want to tell my sisters and others I know who don’t get mammograms due to the pain, that there is finally something out there that can help."
"Much more comfortable and it also made me feel more comfortable with the 'cleanliness' of the procedure as a new pad was put down just for me!"
