Mammography (also called mastography; DICOM modality: MG) is the process of using low-energy X-rays (usually around 30 kVp) to examine the human breast for diagnosis and screening. The goal of mammography is the early detection of breast cancer, typically through detection of characteristic masses, microcalcifications, asymmetries, and distortions.

A mammogram uses an X-ray machine that’s made specifically for breast tissue. The machine takes X-rays at lower radiation doses than the X-rays that look at your bones. During a mammogram, you place your breast on a support plate attached to the X-ray machine.

Mammograms are done with a machine designed to look only at breast tissue. The machine takes x-rays at lower doses than the x-rays done to look at other parts of the body, like the lungs or bones. The mammogram machine has 2 plates that compress or …

The new 3Dimensions system is designed to provide higher quality 3D images for radiologists, a more comfortable mammography experience for patients and enhanced workflow for technologists. Discover how sharper images and smarter technologies continue to help find invasive cancers regardless of age or breast density. 1-6

2016年6月18日 · An ideal mammography system would have an infinitely small focal spot capable of the instantaneous production of an unlimited number of appropriately low-energy photons, with a detector that had unlimited dynamic range and was able to detect every photon that directly transited the breast.

2023年8月25日 · During a mammogram, you stand in front of an X-ray machine designed for mammography. A technician places your breast on a platform and positions the platform to match your height. The technician helps you position your head, arms and torso to allow an unobstructed view of your breast.

Get the clarity you need, the performance you want, and the personalized care your patients deserve with our innovative portfolio of mammography systems and advanced applications. Experience new possibilities in mammography that enhance the breast care journey for more comfort and certainty.

During a mammogram, a patient’s breast is placed on a flat support plate and compressed with a parallel plate called a paddle. An x-ray machine produces a small burst of x-rays that pass through the breast to a detector located on the opposite side.

2024年10月24日 · A computer takes the images collected during a 3D mammogram and forms them into a 3D picture of your breast. The 3D mammogram images can be analyzed as a whole or examined in small fractions for greater detail. For breast cancer screening purposes, the machine also creates standard 2D mammogram images.
