There shouldn’t be anything inconclusive about breast cancer screening – and yet that’s the reality for too many women. We think that it’s time to change that. Meet MAMMOMAT B.brilliant, a whole new mammography system that brings you the next generation of 3D mammography. Experience:
- PlatinumTomo, a completely new breed of tomosynthesis image acquisition technology
- 50° Wide-Angle Tomosynthesis scan time of just 5 seconds2,3
- Excellent in-plane resolution, best in-depth resolution1, and customizable image impression
- A completely new system design that’s focused entirely on the patient and the radiographer
Benefits
Platinum Tomo
Comfort Guide Display
Comfort Move
Fixed face shield and a short scan time
ComfortMove aims to significantly reduce physical strain on radiographers caused by mammography examinations. Thanks to independent movement of the tube unit from the table, you can easily access your patient during the MLO positioning process – without having to bend under the tube unit. An additional work light and positioning laser provide even more support for accurate positioning.
- Easier and optimized patient positioning
- More freedom of movement for radiographers and patients
- Radiographers may avoid physical strain
