In a screening environment, the ability to detect small and low contrast objects is mandatory. For this reason, MAMMOMAT Inspiration provides an amorphous selenium (aSe) detector - directly converting X-ray energy into an electric charge. With a new AEC algorithm, dose calculation has been further optimized: the system measures and selects exposure parameters based on the individual breast size and composition. This adaptive AEC provides full flexibility in terms of breast positioning. The new OpView 2 image processing software is specially designed for digital mammography to produce outstanding image quality. New algorithms provide excellent visibility of the breast border as well as structures in dense tissue.
Increased Efficiency
Siemens' dedicated Acquisition Workstation (AWS) and syngo MammoReport allows breast image viewing from multiple modalities all on one screen. Through DICOM and RIS compatibility, patient data is readily stored in existing clinical archives. With Siemens Remote Service, service time gaps are shortened or downtime can be eliminated. Through constant monitoring, deviating parameters are detected before problems occur.
More than 700 MAMMOMAT Inspiration systems are currently installed outside the United States.
