The SenoClaire detector delivers high DQE at low dose for visualizing microcalcifications without binning, a process that regroups pixels for faster readout speeds and improved signal-to-noise ratios, but with reduced image quality.
• Step-and-shoot tube motion preserves microcalcification sharpness and avoids image blur, since the tube makes a complete stop for each of the nine exposures.
• An anti-scatter solution designed for tomosynthesis, the SenoClaire grid in 3D reduces scattered radiation while preserving dose and performance.
• SenoClaire uses ASiRDBT, a calcification artifact correction iterative reconstruction algorithm that delivers off-plane images much improved in terms of both in-plane and out-of-plane artifacts versus the traditional Filtered Back Projection (FBP) algorithm.
It’s a requirement of dose performance that patient X-ray dose be kept as low as reasonably acceptable. The dose of a SenoClaire 3D view is equivalent to that of a 2D standard acquisition of the same view.
• SenoClaire uses ASiRDBT, a calcification artifact correction iterative reconstruction algorithm that delivers off-plane images much improved in terms of both in-plane and out-of-plane artifacts versus the traditional Filtered Back Projection (FBP) algorithm.
• SenoClaire’s 3D MLO sequence requires only nine exposures with an even distribution of the dose.
• The SenoClaire grid in 3D reduces scattered radiation while preserving dose and performance.
• The dual-track X-ray tube (Mo/Rh) delivers optimized X-ray spectra to penetrate the breast based on breast density and compressed breast thickness. Automatic Optimization of Parameters (AOP) helps you identify the densest breast regions and automatically selects the appropriate anode, filter, kV and mAs to ensure repeatable image quality at optimized radiation dose.
