Senographe Pristina Dueta is an industry-first patient-assisted mammography device that literally puts women in control of their own mammograms. Designed by women for women, an innovative wireless remote control allows patients to manage their own compression, under the supervision of a technologist, during the exam performed on GE Healthcare’s newest mammography system, Senographe Pristina After the breast is properly positioned by the technologist, the patient has the option to adjust her compression using Pristina Dueta. Studies in Europe show 4 out of 5 patients using Pristina Dueta said it made the exam more comfortable, and more than half said the device led to less anxiety. Clinical evidence used in the FDA evaluation and clearance of Pristina Dueta shows use of the device does not compromise image quality or increase exam time. For women with dense breast tissue, supplemental screening may be recommended. The Invenia ABUS (Automated Breast Ultrasound System) is proven to increase invasive cancer detection by 55 percent and is the only FDA-approved ultrasound system for dense breast tissue screening when used in addition to mammography.

SenoBright HD is a next-generation Contrast Enhanced Spectral Mammography (CESM) diagnostic exam intended for patients who have just had an inconclusive mammogram or ultrasound, or are at high risk of breast cancer. SenoBright HD exams are performed at the same time, same location, and with the same mammography equipment – Senographe Pristina - enabling the entire exam to take less than seven minutes. As compared to the first generation CESM, SenoBright HD delivers clearer images and improves acquisition time by 40 percent in women with large breasts. CESM provides high specificity to reduce false-positives and helps prevent unnecessary exams. Images are immediately available for review following the exam.


Enabling Better Clinical Outcomes

Helix advanced imaging processing is a revolutionary platform that features advanced image processing, ultra-high resolution digital detectors, powerful analytics and intelligent systems. Helix delivers sharp detail at low dose and consistent performance in X-ray, despite variations in exposure technique and patient anatomy. The power of Helix coupled with FlashPad HD digital detectors improves contrast detectability by up to 40 percent due to ultra-high resolution, enhanced noise control and advanced image processing. The new Discovery XR656HD premium fixed digital radiographic system features Helix and an expanded suite of workflow automation and analytics tools. It is designed to eliminate unnecessary X-ray image adjustments and repeated exams. It gives technologists and radiologists sharp detail – with up to 4x higher definition in each image when using FlashPad HD detectors – and the balanced contrast and brightness needed at a low dose, right from the very first image.
