Digital breast tomosynthesis mammography unit GIOTTO CLASS PRONE

for stereotactic breast biopsies

GIOTTO CLASS is the only DBT system capable of tilting to the horizontal position to perform X-ray image guided biopsies with the patient in prone position. This unique feature allows our customers to use one single unit for multiple acquisition modalities, from screening mammography to interventional examinations without any additional device. Smart Finder Featuring the fully motorized needle positioner SMART FINDER which is compatible with all VABB and core systems on the market and a high precision simulator software on Raffaello interface, GIOTTO CLASS PRONE BIOPSY SYSTEM is streamlined for efficiency. Stereotactic and/or tomo-guided exposures are both available for the calculation of lesion coordinates, ensuring an optimal visibility of all lesions. Excellent image quality Using the same detector and the same algorithms of routine mammography, clinicians are more confident about image quality and lesion detection. A wide field of view of 15 x 11 cm, together with a large biopsy window of 7×7 cm allow them to visualize more tissue and localize even faint microcalcifications. Multiple approach A rotating needle holder and multiple patient positioning provide almost 360° access to the breast. Vertical, lateral and angled approaches are possible without any additional component and allow to reach even the most challenging lesions. Tomo-guided biopsies The simulation software on RAFFAELLO can present the foreseen path of the needle overimposed to the breast anatomy in the DBT images, so that the procedure planning can include an evaluation of the optimal angle for needle entrance.
