Digital Mammography – FUJIFILM HK Medical

Image quality was a huge deciding factor for us and Fujifilm deliver this with their unique Hexagonal Close Pattern detector. The choice of two tomography angles on the AMULET Innovality is an unexpected bonus which provides us with a choice of standard or high resolution mode. The images can then be reconstructed into Fujifilm’s ‘S-view’ which combines multiple slices in a 2D image.

We Wanted the highest image quality with the lowest dose. Fujifilm's Digital Mammography system was a perfect fit for us. Between the sharper images, the lower dose, and the way the machine adjusts to each individual person, it's just been a great all-round experience.

The biggest patient impacts have been increased throughput and patient comfort. Another benefit has been with the clarity of images themselves. Our chief mammography radiologist, from Hennepin County Medical Center, reads all mammograms and was very impressed with the sharp images.

The image quality is excellent, the technology is very easy to use, and the patients really like the speed as well as the comfort. They like that they can get in and out in just a few minutes.

It was easy for us to start to use AMULET Innovality due to easy and simple operation. We are very satisfied with the image quality. This point is very important for us to detect the breast cancer in early stage.

The examination is less painful compared to other compression paddles. A higher compression force can be applied to the patient to reduce dose and scatter. The Image quality is on a high level - there seem to be no negative effect on the image quality.

We choose Fujifilm because we wanted to have state-of-theart equipment with direct digital mammographic image acquisition, tomosynthesis with synthesized frames and digital stereotaxy.
