Tomo Rental Program

Improve detection rates by 35% while earning 50% more revenue with tomo

Operating within a budget is a challenging task, especially when updating equipment. Tomosynthesis (tomo) can ease budget burdens by providing a 50% increase in revenue, while covering its own cost. Average additional reimbursement for upgrading to tomo is $45 per scan with Medicare and commercial insurance, and an additional $7 with Computer Aided Detection (CAD) included.  The entire monthly cost of the unit is paid off in only 50 screenings with average reimbursement. Greater savings come on the back end with a 37% reduction in recalls, shorter read times and improved workflow by requiring only a single compression to provide more reliable images. With the tomo rental, there are no additional maintenance fees or maintenance contracts, saving roughly $3,000 a month.

2017 is the tipping point for clinics in the higher and lower half of diagnostic imaging (see the projected growth rate of Tomo compared to the rise of digital mammo). In only five years since it gained clearance from the FDA, 35% of U.S. clinics are already using tomo, and at the end of 2017 over half of all U.S. clinics will be operating with tomo. It has become the standard of care in mammography, and all clinics are projected to use tomo in 2020.
