Digital Mammographs

Digital mammography

Mammography is considered one of the most informative and safe methods for examining breast tissue. Its accuracy primarily depends on the quality of the equipment. The globally renowned brand in medical technology, FUJIFILM Medical Systems (Japan), produces highly efficient digital mammography systems that detect the smallest changes in tissues.

What is attractive about digital mammography

Digital mammography devices significantly improve the quality of examinations. FUJIFILM mammography equipment helps identify any abnormalities in breast tissue, even those not palpable. These devices use a digital matrix to generate images on a computer as the X-ray passes through the tissues.

A digital mammography device differs from the analog one:

1. Accuracy: FUJIFILM mammography devices offer approximately a 95% chance of detecting various formations (such as tumors in the early stages) and calcifications in the milk ducts with a diameter of up to 1 mm.
2. Clarity: The device ensures high clarity and image quality even with large breast size and density. Analyzing the obtained digital images is much simpler than analog ones.
3. Convenience: The mammologist can manually and automatically change the angle and scale of the image, reducing the need for repeated examinations. Digital images eliminate the need for chemical processing and film storage. The apparatus allows transmitting images electronically through archiving and communication systems.
4. Safety: The radiation dose received by the patient during examination on a digital device is on average 20-30% lower than on an analog one.
5. Speed: The procedure takes only a few minutes, which is crucial for a large number of patients.

The innovative digital mammography machine, despite having a higher price compared to analog ones, quickly pays off due to its high accuracy and throughput capacity in the clinic.

Why choose FUJIFILM mammographs

FUJIFILM mammography systems are revolutionary systems that directly convert X-rays into electrical signals. The flat-panel detector allows for quickly obtaining high-quality images of the breast from different perspectives. The procedure time (and consequently, the radiation dose for the patient) is significantly reduced compared to analog modifications.

In the creation of high-precision modern mammography equipment, two current developments of the brand were used:

1. A two-layer flat panel with a built-in X-ray detector based on high-purity amorphous selenium (a-Se). Vacuum deposition technology has allowed achieving the maximum conversion speed of radiation available today.
2. Innovative direct optical signal readout technology with DQE. Thanks to this development, the image creation time is reduced, which decreases the overall duration of the examination (in total, exposures take up to 15 seconds). Electronic noise is also reduced, and documentation quality is significantly improved (pixel size is 50 µm).

A digital portable X-ray machine can be equally effective in both stationary and mobile clinics. With their help, various pathologies of the breast can be diagnosed. In addition, the latest models allow for accompanying research, including biopsy.

Medical professionals worldwide particularly commend the ergonomic design of FUJIFILM mammography units. The innovative systems of the latest AMULET series are operated using a foot panel, providing maximum freedom for the healthcare provider.

What are FUJIFILM mammograms capable of

1. The latest generation digital mammography unit offers expanded functionality:
2. Tomosynthesis modes provide opportunities for in-depth diagnostic research. The Standard mode (ST) is characterized by short exposure and minimal X-ray radiation dose. The HD mode with a tilt angle of ±20° helps identify areas requiring further examination and obtain detailed images.
3. The Smart I-AEC system selects the optimal radiation dose based on the characteristics of the breast. The AMULET X-ray mammography unit allows examination of internal structures with breast implants.
4. Automatic compression and decompression functions help adjust breast compression and instantly perform decompression. The FitSweet compression plates adapt to the shape of the breast, and gentle illumination calms the patient.
5. Handrails and disposable padding in the chest area reduce discomfort.
6. Integrated control, AWS workstation with dual monitors allows automatic and manual settings, viewing, and scaling of current and related images, switching between 4 viewing areas. The doctor can instantly capture, save, send to the PACS system, printer, or viewing device.
7. Ability to perform vertical and lateral biopsies. The stereotactic attachment allows the introduction of a biopsy needle into the desired area in 3D space.
