MAMMOMAT Inspiration provides an amorphous selenium (aSe) detector – directly converting X-ray energy into an electric charge. Compared to indirect technologies, the absorption rate of aSe is higher in the low energy range used in mammography, and at the same time the Detective Quantum Efficiency (DQE) is higher and little information is lost. This makes smaller pixel sizes possible and leads to increased spatial resolution.

The system measures and selects exposure parameters based on the individual breast size and composition, for optimized dose calculation. This adaptive AEC provides full flexibility in terms of positioning.

OpView 2 is specially designed for digital mammography to produce superior image quality. New algorithms provide excellent visibility of the breast border as well as structures in dense tissue. It provides better visualization of microcalcifications and masses and offers great results in imaging breasts with implants.
