Low dose with tungsten
Siemens’ Tungsten/Rhodium (W/Rh) technology reduces dose significantly when compared to conventional Molybdenum exposure. Especially for dense breasts, a dose reduction of up to 50 % can be achieved.
The graphic reflects clinical data of more than 4800 mammograms. Equivalence of image quality has been demonstrated by CNR (Contrast-to-Noise-Ratio) evaluation of breasts imaged with both X-ray spectra.
