You have to have the perfect set of images for ACR

"We have found it easier to locate images to submit for ACR using Bella Blankets. You have to have the perfect set of images for ACR, but you should work to have perfect images on all patients possible."

Eliminates IMF tears

"I do think Bella Blankets make a difference for patient comfort. It is nice to not have a cold bucky and that it eliminates IMF tears when the patient is pulling away from the machine."

Bella Blankets make a difference for all patients

"Patients are more relaxed knowing the blanket is on the receptor and it will not be cold so they are easier to position. Bella Blankets make a difference for all patients."

Research Backed

Clinical research has shown that Bella Blankets help technologists acquire more breast tissue while improving positioning quality

In a clinical study, 58 patient images using Bella Blankets were compared to prior-year images where no protective coverlet had been used. The results demonstrated significant improvements in positioning:

  • 77% of patients had increased tissue acquisition

  • Average PNL increased 0.41 cm

  • 48% showed improved visualization of the pectoralis muscle

  • Visualization of retroglandular tissue improved from 86% to 96%

  • Visualization of the inframammary fold as "open" improved from 67% to 87%

Bella Blankets also support positioning best practices aligned with MQSA’s EQUIP guidelines.
