d breast MRI coils, and a tabletop configuration leveraging the same open access features of the patient stretcher. Both patient support configurations are designed to provide greater access for positioning and intervention, optimal patient comfort and improved workflow. The innovative combination of the Sentinelle breast MRI coil's unique patient support and patented Variable Coil Geometry™ feature offers technological advances not available in traditional tabletop coils. Unlike competitive breast coils, the Sentinelle Variable Coil Geometry feature allows for the diagnostic coils and biopsy grid positioning to be customized to each patient. This innovation has the potential to improve image quality, decrease set up time, increase patient accommodation and improve access to lesions for biopsy.

The Sentinelle Aegis™ Breast imaging and interventional software is a dedicated plug-in for the Aegis platform software. It offers powerful real-time 4D (3D + time) image processing, combining speed, flexibility, and dedicated breast MRI algorithms. With advanced hanging protocols and dynamic real-time processing, Aegis Breast software is a state-of the-art platform for breast MRI visualization and interventional guidance to multiple targets.

Built on the Aegis software platform, the Sentinelle Navigation system offers a multi-modality approach to correlated image viewing and device guidance. The Navigation system simultaneously displays real time ultrasound images with corresponding images from  previously acquired 3D DICOM datasets. Leveraging the increased sensitivity and specificity of MRI, CT or PET images with ultrasound has the potential to yield more dependable results.
