We’re thrilled to announce MagView’s partnership with the Know Your Lemons Foundation—a global leader in innovative breast health education. This collaboration brings together MagView’s focus on workflow solutions that help breast centers more effectively care for their patients with Know Your Lemons’ proven approach to patient education, creating a powerful opportunity to improve screening outcomes across the country.
About Know Your Lemons Foundation
Know Your Lemons is a global charity that has revolutionized breast health education with their award-winning app and visual materials, including their internationally recognized “12 Signs of Breast Cancer” graphic. Their engaging, easy-to-understand approach is helping women all over the world better understand their breasts and encouraging them to get screened.
What sets Know Your Lemons apart is their use of visual metaphor—the humble lemon—to overcome barriers of taboo, literacy, and fear that have held traditional breast cancer awareness initiatives back for decades. Their materials are available in over 40 languages and are designed to be accessible to anyone, regardless of their background or literacy level.
“I love Know Your Lemons’ mission of making education playful yet real,” says Whitney Novellino, Director of Marketing at MagView. “Patients respond to content like this. We’re excited to introduce our customers to their education materials that will help more women walk through their doors for imaging appointments. Too many women think the only sign of breast cancer is a lump—this partnership will bring much-needed awareness about the other signs women should look out for.”
The Impact: Proven Results That Drive Patient Return Rates
The effectiveness of Know Your Lemons materials isn’t just theoretical—screening centers across the country are seeing an increase in screening rates:
- Cape Fear Valley has seen a 76% increase in screenings over 3 years of partnership with Know Your Lemons

These aren’t just numbers—they represent lives saved through earlier detection and more engaged patients who understand the importance of regular screening.
