Siemens: Ask the Ultimate Power ...(ions@RSNA area is its full-field mammogr...),Health

Date:11/30/2008

ions@RSNA area is its full-field mammography, breast tomosynthesis(1), a 3D imaging technology that acquires 2D projection images of a compressed breast at multiple angles during a sweep of the X-ray tube. Poised to enhance mammography, the new technology will take the two-dimensional images and reconstruct them to reveal depth - the third dimension of anatomy. Tomosynthesis slices have the potential to show tumors that remain invisible in individual images.

Molecular Imaging

Continuing its leadership in molecular imaging innovation, Siemens showcases Biograph(TM) mCT, the only integrated imaging device to offer routine, whole-body PET scanning in just five minutes, and enables both molecular imaging and radiology to take advantage of its large bore capacity, ultra high-definition technology, combining HD-PET and time-of-flight (TOF), and advanced CT capabilities with up to 128 slices, a first in integrated imaging. Biograph mCT with ultra HD-PET technology is the world's only PET system that offers 2 mm uniform resolution throughout the field of view (FOV), coupled with enhanced contrast with reduced noise, compared to standard PET acquisitions because of the addition of TOF technology. Biograph mCT adapts to virtually all patient types and clinical needs.

Ultrasound

Siemens will also demonstrate the capabilities of the ACUSON S2000 (TM) Automated Breast Volume Scanner (ABVS)(2), the world's first multi-use, automated volume breast ultrasound system. The ACUSON S2000 ABVS system automatically and quickly acquires full-field sonographic volumes for comprehensive review and diagnosis of the breast streamlining workflow and reducing operator dependence and variability. The system also features the intuitive, anatomical coronal plane not available using conventional ultrasound. This view provides a more understandable representation of the global anatomy and architecture of the breast. Semi-aut
