Mammography is a diagnostic tool that uses X-rays to examine the breast. It is the most common method for detecting breast cancer and initial tumor stages and has an established record for effectiveness.
MAMMOMAT Inspiration is Siemens' highly flexible mammography platform. A set of innovative features make the full-field system an ideal screening device for early breast cancer detection. Ease of use – for example via “One-click-to-image” functionality - as well as high patient comfort greatly optimizes patient examinations. The screening configuration of the device can be upgraded later with all functions for stereotactic biopsy. Furthermore, the system can be expanded to provide three-dimensional (3D) imaging using tomosynthesis*. High image quality and an adaptive technology for dose computation complete the advantages of MAMMOMAT Inspiration.
