Philips SECTRA MICRODOSE SI L30: Revolutionizing Mammography for Early Breast Cancer Detection
The Philips SECTRA MICRODOSE SI L30 mammography system embodies Philips' ongoing commitment to transforming healthcare in collaboration with clinicians. With a focus on clinical performance, this system relies on technological advancements such as photon counting and spectral imaging. These innovative platforms open new avenues in mammography, allowing Philips and its clinical partners to explore the potential of spectral imaging to improve early breast cancer detection and diagnostic accuracy.
A key feature of the MICRODOSE SI system is its ability to enhance the patient experience. By reducing examination time, offering low radiation doses, and incorporating features like curved and warm breast support, this system addresses the needs and concerns of women during mammography, providing a more comfortable and reassuring environment.
Economically, the MICRODOSE SI system offers exceptional value. Designed to enable high throughput for screening while delivering quality care to patients, it represents a wise investment for healthcare facilities seeking to optimize resources while offering advanced mammography services.
Philips' proven photon counting technology, used for years at hundreds of sites worldwide, forms the foundation of the MICRODOSE SI system. This technology allows users to capture high-quality images while maintaining low radiation doses, demonstrating an effective compromise between radiation dose and image quality.
A significant advancement offered by the MICRODOSE SI system is its ability to provide non-invasive spectral information on breast composition. Unlike traditional methods requiring the use of contrast agents or separate exposures, this integrated non-invasive approach in a single mammography scan does not disrupt the usual workflow and does not add additional radiation dose. This feature can make a significant contribution to risk assessment and clinical decision-making, providing radiologists with a valuable tool for a more thorough evaluation of mammographic images.
The Philips SECTRA MICRODOSE SI mammography system is proven to deliver exceptional image quality while maintaining low X-ray doses, ensuring a safe and effective approach to breast cancer screening. By integrating spectral and volumetric measurement of breast density, this system aims to provide valuable information for a more comprehensive evaluation of breast health, while remaining non-invasive and comfortable for patients.
A distinctive feature of the MICRODOSE SI is its commitment to patient and healthcare professional engagement, offering unique technology focused on enhancing the mammography experience. By using direct digital photon counting technology, this system ensures low radiation doses while maintaining superior image quality, providing an effective solution for screening applications.
The MICRODOSE SI system is built on photon counting, an innovative approach to breast imaging that recognizes the importance of reducing radiation exposure. With MICRODOSE SI, technical image quality can be improved by up to 11%, while ensuring unmatched 50 μm resolution, even in dense breasts. Additionally, MICRODOSE SI scanning technology ensures a 100% pixel guarantee, eliminating dead pixels and ensuring complete preservation of image data.
Philips' exclusive Diagnostic Scan feature provides valuable assistance in visualizing details during mammography image analysis. By providing a higher dose to a specific area, Diagnostic Scan improves detail visualization without compromising patient safety, contributing to more accurate diagnostic interpretation.
In terms of convenience and comfort, MICRODOSE SI offers a rapid and efficient mammography experience, benefiting both patients and healthcare professionals. With ergonomic design, automated positioning, and user-friendly features, this equipment enables a simplified and efficient workflow, increasing productivity while ensuring patient comfort and safety.
In summary, the Philips SECTRA MICRODOSE SI mammography system represents a significant advancement in breast cancer screening. By combining exceptional image quality, low radiation doses, precise breast density evaluation, and increased patient comfort, it embodies Philips' commitment to providing innovative solutions to improve breast health and women's well-being.
