With tomosynthesis, the X-ray tube moves in a circular motion around the breast. The system acquires an image every two degrees while moving through an angular range of 50° - the largest angle in the industry.
These 25 projections are then reconstructed in the form of tomographic images.
True 3D Breast Tomosynthesis can lead to:
Improved diagnostic capabilities
Outstanding image quality
Higher detection rate
True 3D Breast Tomosynthesis* allows for significantly improved diagnostic capabilities.
True 3D Breast Tomosynthesis can lead to:
Fewer false-positive results
Decrease in number of biopsies
Less emotional and physical stress for patients
Although it is currently the state-of-the-art technology, mammography sensitivity decreases as tissue density increases. A 3D object like a breast displayed as a 2D X-ray
image inevitably leads to a loss of image depth information. True 3D Breast Tomosynthesis* helps reduce these challenges.
True 3D Breast Tomosynthesis can lead to:
Less tissue overlap
Better lesion separation
Higher contrast
Siemens: Be confident. Be precise. Be sure.
