Ultrasound Breast Imaging - Lesion Detection
Improving Lesion Detection Sensitivity
Siemens is at the forefront of new ultrasound breast imaging technologies designed to increase imaging sensitivity and patient comfort. Key advances include:
- Advanced SieClear™ spatial compounding with Dynamic TCE™ tissue contrast enhancement technology
- 17L5 HD transducer
- Fatty Tissue Imaging (FTI)
Advanced SieClear spatial compounding with Dynamic TCE technology*
This real-time compounding technique provides dramatic improvements in contrast resolution and border detection and may be combined with Dynamic TCE technology to further improve contrast resolution through speckle reduction.
Advanced SieClear compounding and Dynamic TCE technology provides unprecedented contrast resolution as noted in this image of a fibroadenoma
17L5 HD transducer**
A new ergonomic, Palmar-grip transducer designed to reduce hand strain while scanning. Its high density technology dramatically improves image detail and overall resolution, providing unprecedented clarity in visualizing the intricate breast anatomy and complex lesions.
The exceptional contrast resolution of the 17L5 HD transducer with Advanced SieClear compounding is noted in this image of a biopsy proven breast carcinoma
Fatty Tissue Imaging (FTI)***
A speed-of-sound adaptation that optimizes the image in real-time to enhance B-mode image quality with superior detail resolution for exellent ultrasound imaging of the fatty breast.
Fatty tissue image provides improvements to detail resolution as noted in these small calcifications within a solid breast mass
