That leaves 9.5% of tested women with a false-positive exam — which is often accompanied by undue financial and emotional burdens.1LG Business Solutions has set out to reduce the risk of this hardship with advanced medical monitor solutions. With the latest high-end medical display technology from LG, physicians can analyze radiological and mammogram images with complete confidence.
