More than 40% of the women who fail to re-attend screening mammography appointments confirm pain as the main cause for the non-attendance. Find out how Fujifilm’s proprietary “Fit Sweet” paddles system can improve patients’ experience. For most women pain is directly related to the compression which is applied to the breast during mammography examinations. However this procedure is essential to stabilize breast position during exposure (to prevent motion artifacts) and to reduce tissue thickness as much as possible (to improve image quality and to support a better visualization of the glandular content). The “Fit Sweet” paddles feature a flexible surface that flexes according to breast size and density, evenly distributing the compression force over the contact surface of the tissue with the paddle. The paddles take advantage of a smart combination of different construction materials, and of a flexible link with the gantry of the system. This advanced construction ensures an optimal stabilization of the breast thanks to a very wide area of contact, while reducing the pressure that is applied to the most sensitive area. The “Fit Sweet” paddle always adapts its shape to the breast, providing a personalized compression to each patient.

AMULET Innovality employs a direct-conversion flat panel detector made of Amorphous Selenium (a-Se) which exhibits excellent conversion efficiency in the mammographic X-ray spectrum. The new HCP (Hexagonal Close Pattern) detector efficiently collects electrical signal converted from X-rays to realize both high resolution and low noise. This unique design makes it possible to realize a higher DQE (Detective Quantum Efficiency) than with the square pixel array of conventional TFT panels. With the information collected by the HCP detector, AMULET Innovality creates high definition images with a pixel size of 50 μm; the finest available with a direct-conversion detector.

In breast tomosynthesis, the X-ray tube moves through an arc while acquiring a series of low-dose x-ray images. The images taken from different angles are reconstructed into a range of Tomosynthesis slices where the structure of interest is always in focus. The reconstructed tomographic images make it easier to identify lesions which might be difficult to visualize in routine mammography because of the presence of overlapping breast structures. The Tomosynthesis function on AMULET Innovality is suitable for a wide range of uses, offering two modes to cater for various clinical scenarios. Standard (ST) mode combines rapid exposure timing and efficient workflow with a low X-ray dose while High Resolution (HR) mode makes it possible to produce images with an even higher level of detail, allowing the region of interest to be brought into clearer focus.
