SECTRA MICRODOSE SI L30 PHILIPS DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY

Philips' commitment to transforming care with clinicians is re-examined in the MicroDose SI system. Driving clinical performance Photon counting and spectral technology are powerful platforms for new advances in mammography. Philips is working with clinical partners to advance the art and science of mammography and explore the potential of spectral imaging. Improving the patient experience Women appreciate the reduced examination time, low radiation dose and warm, curved breast support. Ensuring economic value MicroDose is designed to enable high throughput for screening, while providing excellent patient care. Philips MicroDose SI mammography with one-shot spectral imaging delivers a dose of excellent image quality and non-invasive spectral applications in a fast, comfortable mammogram. Designed to delight physicians, patients and technologists alike, it helps deliver high-quality, efficient, patient-centered care. Philips' proven photon counting technology is the basis of MicroDose SI. In use since 2003 at hundreds of sites worldwide, photon counting facilitates the traditional trade-off between radiation dose and image quality, enabling users to capture outstanding images at a low radiation dose. Spectral information in MicroDose mammography MicroDose SI adds a new advance to this remarkable technology: a non-invasive spectral imaging capability that promises to provide new insights into breast composition. Philips' spectral imaging is unique in that photon counting enables spectral data to be acquired in the same exposure as a conventional low-dose mammogram, and without the use of contrast media. This non-invasive, single-shot approach requires no adjustment to your current workflow, and no additional radiation dose is needed to acquire spectral data. The first MicroDose SI spectral application, the breast density measurement tool, can make an immediate difference to radiologists looking for an objective quantitative method for breast density and risk assessment. High confidence, proven potential - proven: benefit from exceptional image quality with a low X-ray dose - Objective: assess your breast density with a spectral and volumetric measurement of breast density - Non-invasive: collect spectral data in a fast, comfortable mammogram - Distinctive: Patient and referral by offering unique patient-centric technology MicroDose is a scanning system that uses direct digital photon counting technology to deliver a low radiation dose without compromising image quality. At the heart of MicroDose SI is photon counting, A stunning approach to breast imaging that recognizes the importance of minimizing radiation exposure in screening applications. MicroDose SI delivers the same low dose as the previous MicroDose model, and an increase of up to 11% in technical image quality. * MicroDose SI provides an unrivalled resolution of 50 μm and has demonstrated excellent clinical performance, even in dense breasts. In addition, MicroDose SI scanning technology or the 100% pixel guarantee by eliminating dead pixels and associated image data loss. High dose efficiency, high image quality MicroDose mammography delivers high image quality with low dose thanks to: - high X-ray photon absorption - Immediate photon counting - 95% radiation elimination - virtually no electronic noise - 100% pixel guarantee - No ghosting - Smallest pixel size at 50 μm Diagnostic Scan helps discern details An exclusive optional feature of Philips MicroDose SI, Diagnostic Scan makes details indistinguishable in point-compression images. Diagnostic Scan uses a higher dose on a spot compression area. Then, thanks to the high-resolution system, electronic magnification can be used to help visualize details at a lower dose than geometric magnification. What's more, Diagnostic Scan does not require a magnification table on the patient support. Delivering speed and comfort In mammography, what's good for patients is good for business. Now you can offer your patients the speed and convenience of low-dose mammography that takes less time, increasing their comfort as well as your productivity. A fast mammography exam benefits everyone involved. MicroDose SI offers a streamlined, efficient workflow that contributes to high patient throughput, allowing up to 15 four-minute examinations per hour. Ergonomic design, automated positioning and user-friendly features make it easy for users to focus on patients, ease their pain and reduce the risk of injury. Easy positioning MicroDose is designed to offer women a stress-free mammography experience. The breast can be anywhere in the field of view (FOV). At 24 cm x 26 cm, the optimally sized FOV allows
