1. A mammography system comprising:
a. a gantry comprising:
i. a radiation source;
ii. a detector alignable with the radiation source and defining a compression surface;
iii. a first support structure moveably disposed on the gantry between the radiation source and the detector; and
iv. a second support structure moveably disposed on the gantry between the radiation source and the detector;
b. a controller operably connected to the gantry to control the operation of the radiation source and detector to generate image data, the controller including a central processing unit and interconnected electronic memory unit for processing the image data from the detector,
c. a display operably connected to the controller for presenting information to a user; and
d. a user interface operably connected to the controller to enable user input to the controller,
wherein the first support structure and the second support structure each include a component attachment structure thereon.
