Full-field digital mammography unit GIOTTO CLASS

digital breast tomosynthesis

Advanced and innovative breast tomosynthesis system including the integrated capability to generate full-field digital mammography (FFDM) images. It offers a wide range of functions, such as FFDM, DBT (with optional synthetic image G-View), Dual Energy (CESM) and image-guided biopsy. Featuring a unique and ergonomic design to ensure patient comfort and easiness for the operator: the gantry is able to tilt and rotate down 90° for interventional procedures with the patient in prone position. 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 also features a reduced weight and higher stability to perform a Step&Shoot DBT acquisition to get images with more sharpness and details. High performance generator The system is equipped with high-frequency and high-performance generators, with options able to reach powers up to 8 kW, to avoid compromise in the demanding requirements of a multimodality system. 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 wheelchairs), while the backward tilting movement ensures the relaxation of the pectoral muscle which allows to include more breast tissue into the view. Backward tilting can reach the horizontal position (+90°), for the execution of prone procedures when combined with the dedicated accessories.
