Digital Mammography
What is digital mammography
Digital mammography is a radiological diagnostic examination of the breast used for the prevention and early diagnosis of breast cancer. Through tomosynthesis (3D), it acquires multiple images from different angles to reconstruct the breast in layers (3D), ensuring superior resolution, greater detail, and the ability to reprocess images on a computer. Additionally, direct digital technology reduces the X-ray dose by up to half compared to traditional mammography.
AMULET SOPHINITY Digital Mammography
The AMULET SOPHINITY is a state-of-the-art digital mammography system developed by Fujifilm, used for screening and early diagnosis of breast cancer. It combines very high-resolution images with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and an ergonomic design to reduce pain during the examination.
FEATURES
- Early diagnosis through detailed images: the high quality of images with precise details allows for the identification of lesions from the initial stages, increasing the chances of recovery and reducing the impact of therapies;
- Reduction of compression pain: the Comfort Comp system provides automatic control of compression and decompression and reduces the pressure exerted during breast compression, alleviating the sensation of pain for the patient;
- Optimization of radiation dose: the AEC system adjusts the X-ray dose based on breast type, personalizing it according to the characteristics of the examined breast, in line with ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles;
- Reduction of overlaps through the acquisition of multiple images at different angles with layered reconstructions: the DBT – Digital Breast Tomosynthesis system allows for the acquisition of multiple images at different angles, with layered reconstructions of the breast parenchyma, to be virtually "browsed" layer by layer, reducing anatomical overlaps for increased lesion detection capability;
- Advanced digital platform with AI: the digital platform, integrated with artificial intelligence-based tools, is designed to support technicians and physicians in all phases of the examination, from patient positioning to examination execution to image review, to optimize examination efficiency and results;
- Greater perceived comfort and greater stability during the examination: more comfortable positioning for the patient, with reduced abdominal pressure during the examination, allows not only greater comfort for the patient but above all the reduction of motion artifacts and ensures the best reproducibility of serial examinations;
- Vertical biopsy kit: the vertical biopsy system allows for obtaining a tissue sample in case of a suspicious lesion, using a needle that descends perpendicularly to the breast compression plane. The advantage of vertical biopsy is greater trajectory stability and more accurate depth control. Additionally, through the three-dimensional "map" generated using previous digital mammographic scans, it is possible to precisely identify the sampling site, moving from "estimating" the lesion position to identifying the specific point through 3D mapping.
