Planmed shows Nuance mammography system with tomosynthesis capability
Planmed, which markets a variety of advanced mammography products, is showing its Nuance full-field digital mammography system during RSNA 2004. A work-in-progress, the Nuance is being displayed with a tomosynthesis capability.
Planmed, which markets a variety of advanced mammography products, is showing its Nuance full-field digital mammography system during RSNA 2004. A work-in-progress, the Nuance is being displayed with a tomosynthesis capability.
The system will offer clinicians a choice of two detector sizes utilizing direct digital capture amorphous selenium technology. Planmed bills it as enabling effortless image acquisition.
A one-piece magnification tower provides multiple imaging possibilities at 1.6x, 1.8x, and 2x. Precise needle guidance for stereotactic breast biopsy is accomplished with the optional DigiGuide system. Nuance also provides comprehensive DICOM compatibility for fast communication via hospital network.
On the analog side, Planmed is introducing the Nuance Classic with 48-sensor Flex-AEC anatomically adaptable exposure system. Flex-AEC reduces retakes while optimizing image quality, said Vesa Mattila, vice president of Planmed.
"The Nuance Classic provides a bridge to full-field digital technology," Mattila said. "Customers looking to a digital future will have a system that is truly field-upgradable."
The Nuance Classic will be available in January 2005.

April 24th 2024One of the recommendations from the European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) is annual breast MRI exams starting at 25 years of age for women deemed to be at high risk for breast cancer.
New Research Examines Socioeconomic Factors with Mammography No-Shows
April 10th 2024Patients with Medicaid or means-tested insurance were over 27 percent more likely to miss mammography appointments, and only 65 percent of women with three of more adverse social determinants of health had a mammography exam in a two-year period covering 2020 and 2021, according to new research and a report from the CDC.
Mammography Study: AI Improves Breast Cancer Detection and Reduces Reading Time with DBT
April 3rd 2024An emerging artificial intelligence (AI) model demonstrated more than 12 percent higher specificity and reduced image reading time by nearly six seconds in comparison to unassisted radiologist interpretation of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) images.
