Full-field digital mammography unit VIOLA DBT

digital breast tomosynthesisfor stereotactic breast biopsies

Viola DBT Compact Design offers a wide range of functions, such as conventional 2D mammography, DBT (with synthetic image G-View), stereotactic or tomo-guided biopsies with close to 360° approach and Dual Energy (CESM). Thanks to the single-column stand the system is very compact, while the increased speed of the gantry’s movement and positioning produce high throughput. The user-friendly Raffaello software interface ensures a seamless workflow and optimal image quality. 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 better stability to perform a Step&Shoot DBT acquisition in order to get images with more sharpness and details. Compact system Thanks to the single column gantry with embedded generator and the compact dimension of the Acquisition Workstation (AWS), the system can be installed even in small rooms or mobile units. It features a wider rotation angle and vertical range and faster movements (suitable for a screening workflow). 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.
