Comparison
MammoLoop vs MagView: recall queue or mammography record
MagView belongs to the category of mammography information systems that hold reporting and tracking in one place, while MammoLoop is the outreach loop a scheduler works every morning.
The short answer
If your radiologists want structured mammography reporting, coded findings and the tracking record held together in one clinical system, you are shopping in the mammography information system category and a recall tool will not replace it. MammoLoop assumes that record already exists somewhere and takes on the part that keeps slipping at the front desk: pulling a clean twelve month due cohort, running staged texts and letters, tracking who answered, and pushing missed screenings into a recovery queue a scheduler can finish before lunch. Many centers end up running both, with the record system upstream and the recall loop downstream.
MammoLoop and MagView side by side
| What you are deciding | MammoLoop | MagView |
|---|---|---|
| Primary job | Bring due and lapsed screening patients back onto the schedule | Hold the mammography reporting and tracking record for the practice |
| Who sets it up | A scheduler or practice manager, working from a RIS export | A clinical implementation involving radiologists, technologists and IT |
| Scope | The annual recall loop plus the no show recovery queue, and nothing else | Broad mammography record, reporting and tracking workflow |
| Daily user | The front desk scheduler working one queue | Radiologists, technologists and a tracking coordinator |
| Outreach model | Staged text, letter and call ladder with reply and attempt tracking | Correspondence sits inside the wider clinical record workflow |
| Fits alongside | Runs next to whatever RIS and reporting system your center already owns | Tends to be the system of record that other tools sit around |
| Time to first recall batch | A center can stage and send its first batch in the same week | Follows the timeline of a clinical record system project |
| Pricing shape | Flat monthly tiers, $99 single center, $219 two centers, $449 network | Quoted for the practice; ask them for current terms |

Choose MammoLoop when
- Your reporting system is settled and the gap is outreach, not radiology.
- One scheduler carries the due list between arrivals and never reaches the bottom of it.
- Your twelve to twenty four month lapsed patients grow every quarter and nobody owns them.
- You want a queue the front desk can finish, not another clinical system to learn.
Choose MagView when
- You are replacing the mammography record itself, not just the outreach around it.
- Your radiologists want structured reporting and tracking held in one system.
- Your center prefers a single vendor for the clinical record and the correspondence it generates.
What each one is actually built to own
A mammography information system is built around the exam and the finding. It expects a radiologist to read, code and sign, and it expects the practice to be able to answer questions about outcomes later. That is a serious piece of clinical software and the reason it takes a project to put in. MammoLoop never touches that layer. It reads who is due, when she was last screened, and how to reach her.
MammoLoop is built around the due month. Its unit of work is a woman whose last screening mammogram was eleven months ago and who has not yet booked the next one. Everything in the product exists to move her from that state to a kept appointment: the cohort pull, the outreach ladder, the reply inbox, the recovery queue for the ones who did not arrive. If you already have a system that answers clinical questions well, this is the piece it was never designed to work.
How the workday differs at the front desk
In a center running only a record system, recall usually looks like a monthly report someone prints, marks up with a pen and works down between walk ins. The report does not know who was texted last Tuesday, who replied, or who was left a voicemail twice. So the same women get called three times and others get nothing, and by the fifteenth of the month the list is stale anyway.
With a recall loop in place, the scheduler opens one queue that already knows the attempt history. She sees which patients replied and need a slot, which are due for a second touch, and which have gone quiet after three attempts and should get a letter. The report becomes a working list instead of paper, and the day ends with the queue counted rather than abandoned.
Running both without duplicating work
Centers that keep a mammography information system and add MammoLoop draw a clean line: the record system stays the source of truth for exams, findings and tracking, and the recall loop is fed from it on a schedule. The export carries patient identifier, last screening date, due date and contact fields. Nothing clinical crosses over, which keeps the outreach layer simple and keeps your audit story unchanged.
The one rule worth writing down is which system owns the appointment. It should be the one your schedule lives in, with MammoLoop marking the patient as booked so she leaves the outreach ladder immediately. Centers that skip that step end up texting women who already have a Thursday slot, which is the fastest way to make patients ignore your messages.
Questions people ask before they choose
Does MammoLoop replace a mammography information system?
No, and we would tell you if it did. It has no structured reporting, no coded findings and no audit statistics. It works the outreach and booking loop around whatever record system you already run.
Can we feed MammoLoop from a RIS export instead of an interface?
Yes. Most independent centers start with a scheduled export carrying patient identifier, last screening date, due date and contact fields. That is enough to build the cohort and start staged outreach in the same week.
Which system should hold the recall due date?
Whichever one your staff trusts. If the record system already calculates it, send it over and MammoLoop follows it. If it does not, MammoLoop can derive the due month from the last screening date and you keep one date rather than two.

One head to head only goes so far on a page. Book half an hour, bring the last export your radiology information system produced, and we will stage a real annual screening batch against it while you watch. You will see exactly which part of your current setup MammoLoop takes over and which part it leaves completely alone.
