Scales designed to weigh the compression force applied by the breast compression paddles of a mammography unit. These scales typically have a maximum force measurement in the range of 25-30 kg (245 to 294 N) and an accuracy in the range of 0.01 to 0.3 kg (0.1 to 3 N). These scales are used in quality assurance procedures to ensure that mammographic units are applying appropriate levels of compression force during breast tissue imaging.
