Giotto USA will be demonstrating at RSNA 2011 its 3D and 3DL digital mammography systems, which recently received FDA 510(k) clearance.
Giotto USA will be demonstrating at RSNA 2011 its 3D and 3DL digital mammography systems, which recently received FDA 510(k) clearance.
The Giotto systems include a ring-shaped tilting gantry, which the company said provides for patient-friendly face-to-face positioning and easier positioning for the technologist. The 3D has an 18 x 24 cm bucky, and the 3DL has a 24 x 30 cm bucky.
Other features of the systems include Insight View, Giotto’s new image processing software with the second generation Selenium Detector technology, inclined positioning for better visualization, and the opportunity to add the Biopsy Digit stereotactic biopsy device.
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.
