The system is using the Miller Method, which standardizes the breast positioning for every patient to detect abnormalities easier and establish a strong baseline image for patients, according to a Feb. 8 system news release. 

Three mammography technologists took the training last year and are now training more than 70 other technologists at the center. Banner Health plans to roll out the method to its breast centers and imaging sites, the release said.

At the Becker's Perioperative Summit, taking place September 14–15 in Chicago, perioperative leaders and healthcare executives will focus on improving operating room efficiency, enhancing patient safety, optimizing staffing and driving innovation across surgical services.
