Some Good Reasons to Choose MoBx for Your Stereotactic Breast Biopsy Needs
	We were the first company in the world to perform biopsies in the mobile environment, and have performed tens of thousands of biopsies since 1994. Our current service area includes the states of California, Arizona and Utah.
	Because of the size of our company, we have extra personnel available in case of illness or mechanical problems. Small vendors are essentially out of business when this happens, leaving you stranded.
	Our company keeps the needs of patients, physicians and medical centers in the forefront. Patient satisfaction questionnaires are uniformly laudatory.
	We have passed five years of evaluations by the State of California, JCAHO, HMOs and radiation physicists. We have helped facilities obtain their voluntary accreditation by the American College of Radiology. A breast surgeon and several radiologists oversee our clinical services.
	MoBx continues to seek better, less invasive methods of finding early breast cancer. In some cases ultrasound sees breast cancer more clearly than mammography. So, MoBx now provides the HandHeld Mammotome vacuum assisted biopsy device to those institutions that want to perform ultrasound-guided Mammotome breast biopsies without having to pay for the up front capital expenses. An advanced form of the same 11 gauge Mammotome is used to obtain the tissue and a marking clip may be left for future identification of the biopsy site.

Mobile versus Stationary  Our mobile service has the following advantages over buying your own stationary equipment:
	No need to convert costly hospital or surgicenter real estate into an infrequently-used x-ray room filled with expensive stationary equipment No need for expensive service contracts year after year Ready to use biopsy complex which parks on any flat surface
	Custom construction for maximum stability of the stereotactic table Interior design with the needs of the patient kept in mind Special cabinetry and hardware for maximum efficiency of personnel Room for your physician to perform the biopsy comfortably No worry that your equipment will become outmoded as we constantly upgrade our equipment to provide the latest technology.
	Our licensed female mammographic technologists are specially trained in stereotactic breast biopsy to help your physicians. They are skilled in helping your patients in every aspect of the biopsy process.
	Detailed operations manual and personal instruction for physicians and medical imaging managers to minimize worries regarding JCAHO surveys
	As the developer of the world's first mobile stereotactic mammographic facility, we have gone through all of the regulatory hoops with state health agencies, fire marshals, radiation safety officers, etc. and have dealt successfully with the issues of safe working conditions, designs for disabled patients, hazardous waste disposal, etc.
	Education for your referring physicians regarding this cost-saving, minimally invasive technique Special emphasis on developing a team of referring physicians, radiologists, surgeons and pathologists Media campaign advice informing the public regarding the technique
	How to make sure your physicians and institution get paid for their services
	Continuing Medical Education lectures by MBA medical staff Financial presentations by MBA staff to CEOs, CFOs of hospitals, HMOs, etc.
