MAMMOMAT NovationDR

Clinical studies have proven that with early detection, the mortality rate of breast cancer is reduced significantly. Siemens uses its expertise in high-quality imaging and IT to create a digital mammography solution to optimize clinical workflow.

MAMMOMAT(R) NovationDR, a high-end full-field digital mammography system for screening, diagnostics, and biopsy applications, is designed to handle the mammography workup from patient registration and image acquisition to post-processing and reading. The system features Siemens' exclusive dual anode technology. This tube offers three anode/filter combinations to perfectly match breast density and thickness - Mo/Mo, Mo/Rh, and W/Rh. With Tungsten technology and high mA output, even dense breasts are examined with shorter exposure times and significantly reduced dose.

MAMMOMAT NovationDR is equipped with a large format detector size (24 cm x 29 cm) for imaging virtually all breast sizes. MAMMOMAT NovationDR is equipped with the unique pivoting bucky to enable 100 percent system utilization. The system allows the integration of Opdima digital spot imaging and digital biopsy system.

"Siemens' unique strength is our ability to integrate in-vivo and in-vitro diagnostics with therapeutics and clinical workflow knowledge to support the worldwide battle against breast cancer," said Miller. "Patient care and positive outcomes are at the core of our mission - and that is just how it should be."
