Healthcare continues to benefit from technological advancements, particularly in breast cancer screening. At Radimed, we provide state-of-the-art equipment designed to offer high-quality examinations. Today, we introduce the Senographe Pristina, an advanced 3D mammography (tomosynthesis) technology designed to produce detailed and personalized breast images.
What is the Senographe Pristina?
Developed by GE HealthCare, the Senographe Pristina was designed to enhance the breast screening experience. This innovative system not only helps produce high-quality diagnostic images but also prioritizes patient comfort and supports efficiency for medical imaging technologists.
Patient comfort
One of the defining features of the Senographe Pristina is its ergonomic and calming design. Unlike traditional mammography machines, this device incorporates several features that may contribute to a more comfortable experience, such as:
- A soft, rounded gantry with adapted lighting for a more soothing experience.
- Flexible armrests that replace rigid handles, allowing patients to relax their muscles and potentially reduce discomfort from breast compression.
- Advanced technology enabling a faster and more efficient image acquisition process.
Confidence for technologists
The Senographe Pristina also benefits radiology technologists by optimizing the examination process. Notable improvements include:
- Reduced physical strain due to simplified tube head positioning.
- Better patient accessibility, facilitating proper positioning for mediolateral oblique (MLO) views.
- Quick system startup and adjustable imaging parameters to accommodate clinical needs.
Diagnostic precision
The Senographe Pristina integrates technology designed to produce high-quality, detailed images while optimizing radiation dose management. Its 3D imaging protocol includes:
- V-Preview and 3D CC/MLO views in standard mode, providing more accurate visualization of breast tissue.
- Advanced image overlay management, which may aid in analyzing breast structures.
- Better distinction between certain abnormalities and normal tissue.
