Siemens declared that the MAMMOMAT Inspiration Full-Field Digital Mammography System is recent commercially premissible in the United States. The MAMMOMAT Inspiration provides digital imaging and diagnostic mammography, stereotactic biopsy, and progress ability to future technologies all in one system. All over the world, Siemens control customer workshops in which radiologists, radiology technologists and physicists offered details and suggestions on their vision for a next generation digital mammography system.
Gerhard Schmiedel, vice president, X-ray Products, Siemens Healthcare,mentioned that "The MAMMOMAT Inspiration is a direct result of that customer feedback so it was truly inspired by them,The system was designed to help provide a more pleasant examination environment for patients, more efficient workflow for technologists, and excellent image quality for physicians".
A next-generation mammography system should provide a more pleasant according to Siemens customers, comfortable patient experience. With its unique MoodLight LED light panel, the MAMMOMAT Inspiration aids in offering a warmer environment by illuminating soft, pastel colors that can convert dynamically through the day or can be set on 1 color that best matches the environment. The material compound of the paddles also aids in offering a warm, smooth feeling for patients during a mammogram.
The capability to discover small and less contrast objects is obligatory in an imaging environment. As a result MAMMOMAT Inspiration offers an amorphous selenium detector changing X-ray energy into an electric charge. A recent AEC algorithm, dose calculation has been optimized, the program measures and chooses exposure parameters depended on the individual breast size. This adaptive AEC offers complete flexibility in means of breast positioning. New algorithms offers perfect visibility of the breast border besides structures in dense tissue. The new Op view two picture processing software is formed for digital mammography to provide with outstanding picture quality.
