The Selenia Dimensions system has the potential to be a powerful screening tool in the fight against breast cancer. It delivers the digital mammograms you’ve come to expect from Hologic and takes you to the next level in breast imaging with breast tomosynthesis .
The flexibility of the Selenia Dimensions platform allows the technologist to use the system for conventional mammography, breast tomosynthesis alone, or as a breast tomosynthesis screening exam (Hologic’s combo-mode imaging) in which both a digital mammogram and breast tomosynthesis sets are captured in the same compression.1
Only the Selenia Dimensions breast tomosynthesis screening exam delivers demonstrated benefits, including:
Hologic’s C-View™ 2D image reconstruction algorithm eliminates the need for a conventional 2D mammogram as a component of a breast tomosynthesis exam. For users of Hologic’s 2D plus 3D tomosynthesis system, C-View software creates a 2D image from a single tomosynthesis scan, removing the requirement for the acquisition of additional 2D exposures.
