Helianthus - Model DBT - 3D Mammography Unique Triple Angle Scanning System
The Helianthus Series embraces three different full-field digital flat-panel mammography systems that can perform both screening and 2D or 3D diagnostics. All the mammography equipments benefit from state-of-the-art techniques to detect breast cancer, including dual energy (contrast-enhanced mammography).
The DBT smallest scan angle is optimal when an extremely short scan time is required (even 2.5s) to minimize movement, artifacts, and patient discomfort
The DBT intermediate angle always has a short scan time (4s ) and excellent sharpness. It guarantees a better resolution and is an optimal choice for standard diagnostics procedures
The DBT wide-angle, requiring a longer scan time (7.7s ) improves the discrimination of overlapping tissues (in case of in-depth analysis)
A three-dimensional biopsy device allows the execution of stereotactic or tomosynthesis biopsy procedures.
Magnification Kit
Geometric magnification device (1.5x or 1.8x or 2x). Without an anti-diffusion grid, the radiation dose applied is significantly reduced.
Compression paddles
Different compression paddles are available as options (i.e. specific for the geometric magnification, for the examination of details, and perforated for two-dimensional biopsy procedures).
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).
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.
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.
