Senographe Pristina™ integrated 3D mammography provides an exceptionally sharp and detailed picture for breast cancer detection and diagnosis at the same radiation dose as standard 2D mammography.
The new inviting gantry promotes a sense of calm, with elegant lighting and gentle, rounded shapes. A soft-curved surface invites patients into a space of comfort and support.
Soft armrests have replaced the typical hand grips. So rather than tensing muscles to hold a hand grip, patients rest their arm comfortably on the arm rest, which helps relax muscles, simplifying compression and image acquisition.
When patients are more comfortable during a breast exam, technologists can focus on more suitable positioning, enabling a faster and smoother experience for both patient and technologist.
Senographe Pristina sets the bar high for diagnostic confidence and performance, leveraging the Senographe family’s widely recognized image quality.
GE Digital Breast Tomosynthesis delivers superior diagnostic accuracy at the same dose as 2D FFDM, the lowest patient dose of all FDA approved DBT systems.
3D Mammography™ is a revolutionary new screening and diagnostic tool designed for early breast cancer detection that can be done in conjunction with a traditional 2D digital mammogram.
During the 3D part of the exam, the X-ray arm sweeps in a slight arc over your breast, taking multiple breast images. Then, a computer produces a 3D image of your breast tissue in one millimeter slices, providing greater visibility for the radiologist to see breast detail in a way never before possible. They can scroll through images of your entire breast like pages of a book.
The additional 3D images make it possible for a radiologist to gain a better understanding of your breast tissue during screening and the confidence to reduce the need for follow-up imaging.
With conventional digital mammography, the radiologist is viewing all the complexities of your breast tissue in one flat image. Sometimes breast tissue can overlap, giving the illusion of normal breast tissue looking like an abnormal area.
By looking at the breast tissue in one millimeter slices, the radiologist can provide a more confident assessment.1 In this way, 3D Mammography™ finds cancers missed with conventional 2D mammography. It also means there is less chance your doctor will call you back later for a “second look,” because now they can see breast tissue more clearly.
It is approved for all women who would be undergoing a standard mammogram.
