More than a billion times each year, healthcare professionals rely on Barco medical displays to make life-critical decisions. 80% of breast screening centers use Barco mammography displays, because of their reliability and extremely high image quality.

'We've always tried to make a difference in women's health by engineering the best possible display systems,' says Inge Govaerts, Barco's Corporate Public Relations Manager. 'Still, Barco wanted to go a step further. Via the video initiative, we looked beyond the technology in order to put a face on all of the women (and men) that are screened on our displays every day. By visualizing their story, we want to share a message of hope and spirit to women and men worldwide who are currently battling the disease. But we don't stop there. We also want to make a financial contribution of €10,000 to Pink Ribbon to further support the fight against breast cancer,' Inge Govaerts concludes.

For each 'Like' of the video on YouTube, Barco is contributing €1 to Pink Ribbon − so the company is counting on the public to post at least 10,000 video 'Likes' in order to contribute the full €10,000. Viewers can also share their own story on social media via the hashtag #MyMammoStory and get a chance to win a make-over and photo-shoot with light painting!
