Full-field digital mammography unit Viola DBT

for stereotactic breast biopsies

It features a unique and ergonomic design which ensures patient comfort and easiness for the operator: the gantry is able to reach different positions, including the horizontal one for interventional procedures. A high-precision tomo-guided biopsy kit allows the operator to reduce procedure time and patient anxiety. The system is equipped with dedicated algorithms for optimal image quality, user-friendly Raffaello software’s interface and safe diagnosis even with Dual Energy technique (CESM). Ceramic X-ray tube The special metal-ceramic X-ray tube guarantees continuous heat dissipation for high patient’s throughput and high performance in all acquisition modalities, while assuring lower maintenance practices. It features a reduced weight and a higher stability to perform a Step&Shoot DBT acquisition in order to get images with more sharpness and details. High performance generator Viola DBT is characterized by high-performance generators able to reach powers up to 8 kW, reducing exposure time during CESM exams of thicker breast tissues. Tilting movements The innovative design of the gantry enables a wide freedom of quick movements in any direction. The forward tilting movement (up to -10°) allows the positioning of non-collaborative patients (i.e., in wheelchair), while the backward tilting movement (up to +15°) ensures the relaxation of the pectoral muscle in order to include more breast tissue into the view. Furthermore, Viola DBT is the only system able to reach the horizontal position (+90°), performing prone biopsies with the dedicated Flexitable.
