Full-field digital mammography unit Helianthus

Helianthus results from a demanding challenge aimed to create a modular digital mammography system that allows the end-user to carry out in-depth screening and clinical examinations with the most up-to-date techniques and let the radiologist evaluate, at any time, possible integration of more advanced features. VERSATILE PERFORMANCE This mammo unit only allows the acquisition of 2D digital mammography images. However, the system is designed to be integrated at any time with the most current diagnostic methods, such as tomosynthesis and dual-energy (contrast-enhanced mammography). A wide range of accessories allows the configuration for all interventional practices (including stereotactic and tomo-guided biopsy). IMPROVED SAFETY Smoother movements thanks to the isocentric servo-assisted movements of the C-arm. Extensive rotational and translation movements for patient's quick and easy positioning. All the exam parameters are easily accessible on the 7" color touchscreen displays on the C-arm's sides. UP-TO-DATE FEATURES To guarantee confident and accurate diagnosis, the Helianthus system is outfitted with state-of-the-art features such as automatic collimation, “Smart μ Press” compression system and the powerful POEt (Processing for Optimal Enhancement) software. THE PROPER RADIATION DOSE FOR EACH KIND OF BREAST TISSUE DIGITAL DETECTOR In the Helianthus unit, the digital detector is also used to set optimal exposure parameters in an automatic or a semi-automatic mode. According to the compression paddle employed, a continuous portion of the sensitive area of the detector is selected for a particular procedure
