Technical Specifications
Main Unit
The Innovality mammography systems represents Fujifilm’s commitment in radiology equipment development and manufacturing: its design embedded with proprietary technologies and components, makes it the proud flagship of our digital mammography portfolio.
Tube and generator
The Innovality mammography system features a tungsten anode tube, alternatively coupled with three different filters:
Rhodium filter for an optimized beam for 2D exposures;
Aluminium filter to be used in tomosynthesis exposures;
Copper filter to be used for energy subtraction exposures (CEDM)
Detector
The Innovality mammography system employs a direct-conversion flat panel detector made of Amorphous Selenium (a-Se) which exhibits conversion efficiency in the mammographic X-ray spectrum.
The new HCP (Hexagonal Close Pattern) detector efficiently collects electrical signals converted from X-rays to realize both high resolution and low noise. This design makes it possible to realize a higher DQE (Detective Quantum Efficiency) than with the square pixel array of conventional TFT panels. With the information collected by the HCP detector, the AMULET Innovality mammography system creates high definition images with a pixel size of 50 μm.
Intelligent AEC optimizes the X-ray dose for each breast type
Intelligent AEC has advantages in defining the adequate dose for an examination compared to conventional AEC systems where the sensor position is fixed. Through the analysis of information obtained from low- dose preshot images, Intelligent AEC makes it possible to consider the mammary gland density (breast type) when defining the x-ray energy and level of dose required. Able to be used even in the presence of implants; intelligent AEC enables more accurate calculation of exposure parameters than is possible with conventional AEC systems. By allowing the use of automatic exposure for the implanted breast, Intelligent AEC can further enhance examination workflow.
Patient information display
The information shown on the display A at the base of the exposure unit can be switched between patient information (ID, name, date of birth, etc.) and positioning information (angle of swivel arm, compression force and breast thickness). Positioning information can also be confirmed on the display B on the compression arm.
Patient comfort
The Innovality mammography system has been designed with patient comfort in mind, and can reduce the discomfort which is typical of mammography exams.
The gantry design embeds two wide and easily accessible armrests and offers the possibility to install an additional lower one (to be positioned under the detector).
