GE Medical Systems has made its first commercial installation of Senographe 2000D, the companys full-field digital mammography system. The unit received the CE Mark for European regulatory clearance this spring (SCAN 3/17/99), and on Sept. 2 Senographe was placed at Charite Hospital in Berlin. The Milwaukee-based firm plans to install more than 50 Senographes outside the U.S. by the end of the year.
Senographe 2000Ds digital detector is based on amorphous silicon flat-panel detectors manufactured in the companys plant in Santa Clara, CA, a joint venture between GE and EG&G Amorphous Silicon (SCAN 9/3/97) The detectors are then shipped to France, where they are incorporated into Senographe systems built at the companys x-ray and mammography factory in Buc.
Mammography and Breast MRI: Is it Time to Evaluate Strategies as Opposed to Modalities?
July 5th 2024The combination of mammography with breast MRI within 90 days had a 96.2 percent sensitivity in comparison to 48.1 percent for mammography and 79.7 percent for breast MRI performed within 91 to 270 days after index mammography, according to newly published research.
ACR Collaborative Model Leads to 35 Percent Improvement with Mammography Positioning Criteria
July 1st 2024Noting significant variation with facilities for achieving passing criteria for mammography positioning, researchers found that structured interventions, ranging from weekly auditing of images taken by technologists to mechanisms for feedback from radiologists to technologists, led to significant improvements in a multicenter study.
