Mammography skin marks
Clear communication, accurate interpretation. Five different shapes gently but clearly identify and permanently document the location of birthmarks, skin scars from previous surgeries, palpable formations, nipple position, focal pain, and other intangible problem areas.
Nipple markers
It immediately identifies the position of the nipple as a reference point for accurate measurement, helps detect movement, and assists in positioning from the side.
Markers for moles
Provide assurance that densities on mammograms are marks and not problem areas.
TomoSPOT® for digital breast tomosynthesis
Clear visualization with the least potential for "sliding" artifacts in 3D mammography compared to other skin markers.
Tangible weight markers
Quickly identify symptomatic areas and provide permanent documentation that a tangible area has been recorded.
Pain point Area of interest Tags
It clarifies the area marked by a square as distinct from any other topographical or tactile area of study during interpretation, such as pain points, cysts, insect bites, rashes, bruises, or ecchymoses.
Scar marks
Correlation of architectural disruption from previous biopsy sites by defining the exact location of the incisions.

A simple and effective way to increase efficiency and reduce callbacks
Skin markers offer a simple and effective way to increase efficiency and reduce callbacks in mammography
Regardless of the imaging device used by your breast center, image interpretation can be faster and more accurate with the consistent use of skin markers.
Five distinct shapes gently but clearly indicate and permanently document the location of birthmarks, skin scars from previous surgeries, palpable masses, nipple position, focal pain, or other non-palpable areas of concern directly on the mammogram image.
Breast imaging centers that use the Beekley Skin Marking System® for digital and 3D breast tomosynthesis report better communication between the patient, technician, and radiologist; fewer questions and fewer additional images.
Proactive protocol for routine skin marking during mammography
- Complies with current ACR1 recommendations
- Reduces the risk of false negative and false positive results
- Reduces the number of unnecessary additional images and callbacks
- Provides visual documentation of breast anatomy from year to year and when transferring images
