Philips MicroDose Mammography, full-field digital mammography system (FFDM), offers excellent image quality and high throughput in a low-dose system.
By combining features that enhance image quality and speed with those that provide outstanding patient comfort and low-dose, the MicroDose system can contribute to your business growth and productivity while helping you provide outstanding patient care.
Exclusive photon counting technology yields high dose efficiency
X-rays are digital by nature and the MicroDose photon counting detector counts them one by one – a direct capture of individual X-rays. This means no electronic noise in the image and no information loss in analog to digital conversion, as is the case in other FFDM technologies.
Efficient scatter rejection and photon counting technology results in a dose-efficient system, allowing for low radiation dose imaging while maintaining exceptional image quality, MicroDose helps you improve your clinical confidence by facilitating detection at a low radiation dose.
- There are no "ghost images" that can interfere with image interpretation, since the detector is fast enough to be ready when the next photon arrives.
- Multi-slit scanning technology provides images that have no dead pixels that might obscure microcalcifications.
- MicroDose SmartAEC continuously adjusts radiation exposure depending on the density of the breast.
- The very small pixel size of 50 μm enables visualization of fine structures in the breast, such as microcalcifications and spiculations.
High patient throughput and competitive edge
Philips MicroDose Mammography addresses busy case volume by helping perform as many as 15 four-image examinations per hour. Designed with both user and patient comfort in mind, the MicroDose system is equipped with easy single click operation and a warm curved breast support. Now you can offer your patients the speed and convenience of a low-dose procedure that take less than five minutes as well as truly differentiate your services in the women’s healthcare community.
Future-proof technology
MicroDose delivers future-proof technology that will allow you to be competitive and deliver excellent patient care. Its exclusive photon counting detector technology opens up opportunities for advanced breast applications.
