High quality images for easier diagnosis
In breast tomosynthesis, the X-ray tube moves through an arc while acquiring a series of low-dose X-ray images.
The images taken from different angles are reconstructed into a range of Tomosynthesis slices where the structure of interest is always in focus.
The reconstructed tomographic images make it easier to identify lesions which might be difficult to visualize in routine mammography because of the presence of overlapping breast structures.
Tomosynthesis by ASPIRE Cristalle automatically produces not only tomograms obtained at 1 mm intervals but also a two- dimensional S-View image combining multiple slice images.
With the S-View image showing the overall view added to tomograms offering the views in detail, comprehensive image reading is possible.
The tomosynthesis iterative super-resolution reconstruction (ISR) method is applied to optimize image quality, achieving significant X-ray dosage reduction.
The image patterns are recognized to selectively suppress the patterns that do not exist in human body architectures as noise, to reduce distractive noises in the event of low-dose tomography.
In the process of reconstructing the 3D breast architecture from multiple 2D images, calcification, mass, spicula, mammary gland and other signals that emerge from different depths in the breast architecture are selected off to reproduce the breast architecture at the focus depth with greater fidelity.
Our super-resolution technology is introduced to restore the fine-structure of calcification and other phenomena, the visibility of which is impaired by the movement of the X-ray tube, to facilitate interpretation of tomosynthesis images.
With combination of 2D and Tomosynthesis Dose of 2 or less mGy is available*2
Fixing the face guard to the device instead of the tube part eliminates movement of the face guard during Tomosynthesis imaging. It can also be used as-is for normal mammography imaging.
After a shot, the next shot in either 2D or 3D can be started with a cycle time of approx. 15 seconds.
Supports a variety of approach for patients
The system is designed to support flexible positioning of tube and detector, from -90°to +90°. Ergonomically designed arm rests and disposable soft pads ensure patient comfort and safe positioning.
- Irradiation field size can be easily adjusted, depending on breast size and procedure needs. Convenient spacers can be used in order to perform needle positioning in extremely thin breasts, too.
- Full AEC automatic function is available for both scout (2D) and Tomosynthesis exposures.
- Prior images and studies can be viewed during biopsy, to further improve accuracy.
- Variable image resolution for different needs
Thanks to the adapter, needle positioning can be performed both vertically and laterally. Access to the compressed breast in two directions ensures precise targeting of lesions which might be to difficult position.
Both CNB/FNB/Hook wire and VAB needles can be used in a wide range of sizes, for various models and manufacturers.
- *Refer to technical specifications and to local representatives for further information.
Targeting is supported using both tomosynthesis and stereotatic images: the choice depends on operator confidence and lesion positioning.
- Using a tomosynthesis image, it makes it possible to target the lesion which cannot be found on 2D image.
- Thanks to easier lesion position identification, tomosynthesis targeting results in a more efficient workflow and operation.
- Overlapping breast structures make lesions less visible
- Difficult to identify a particular region
- Reconstructed images show overlapping structures separately
- Easier to locate a target than with the conventional method
- Both Tomosynthesis and stereotactic support for needle positioning
The highest image quality and workflow efficiency for interventional procedures.
