MammographyFilm-based breast mammography has been the standard screening method for breast cancer detection for more than 30 years. One of the challenges facing traditional film-based technologies is the variability of the resolution when imaging dense breast tissue. Full field digital mammography (FFDM) produces higher resolution images that can be software enhanced by the radiologist to improve reading accuracy, especially for dense tissue. Digital technology also allows for a much faster image acquisition and eliminates film developing time, thus increasing patient throughput. Full Field Digital Mammography DetectorThe heart of a digital mammography system is the detector plate itself. ANRAD’s Selenium based detector technology allows for direct conversion of X-ray into digital signals, which can be processed into high-quality images within seconds.
With its patented Selenium layered structure, ANRAD digital detector advantages include: - Fast image acquisition
- Superior image quality: high DQE, high MTF, high contrast, high dynamic range
- Tomosynthesis capability
ANRAD has developed imaging solutions that are integrated in direct digital mammography systems manufactured by major medical original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Tomosynthesis Ready DetectorANRAD’s Selenium structure permits the fast image acquisition required of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT). For this new and exciting technology, several scans of the breast must be taken at multiple angles. The acquired image set is used to reconstruct a 3-D image of the breast with very high resolution to help improve reading accuracy for the clinician.
