The new MAMMOMAT B.brilliant mammography system from Siemens Healthineers offers full-field digital (2D) mammography, breast biopsy, and TiCEM (contrast-enhanced mammography). Standard on all MAMMOMAT B.brilliant units is a complete ComfortPackage that includes ambient lighting, intelligent personalized compression, and curved compression paddles to reduce patient discomfort, and improve breast positioning, and enable more consistent image quality. The ComfortPackage also benefits the technologist through automatic tube movement that can reduce repetitive workplace injuries, a prominent display that places exam information at eye level, and a laser positioning guide that aids in optimal positioning. The optimized face shield angles back toward the unit, so the patient can be positioned to lean into the unit for improved visualization of posterior tissue. Also, Siemens Healthineers has filed a Premarket Approval application for the system’s new PlatinumTomo¹ 3D technology, which will acquire the tomosynthesis volume at the same angular range of 50° — the widest angle available — as the company’s current system for a high level of depth resolution and tissue separation.
¹ The planned 3D tomosynthesis option for the MAMMOMAT B.brilliant is currently under FDA review. Actual results may differ materially from anticipated results and may be subject to change.
