The digital detector of MammoTest offers a fiber-optically coupled 1024 x 1024 CCD (charged coupled device) and a highly efficient scintillator. Together, this results in optimized contrast and spatial resolution for faster and easier visualization of the entire breast anatomy.

In contrast to cartesian coordinate, we at Siemens offer an angled access to the lesion by using polar coordinates. This approach is unique in the industry and allows for greater access with unobstructed views of all breast areas, including lesions very close to the chest wall. It offers precise positioning together with the AutoGuide targeting and guidance system.

The "Target on Scout" function enables a straight-on 0° Scout View for targeting. This means that if one of the acquired +/- 15° images is not suitable for precise lesion localization and needle placement, “Target on Scout” will create a new stereo view from the 0° image to provide exact lesion positioning for you and your patient. After that, AutoGuide exactly and automatically calculates the lesion’s position and the needle positioning and biopsy can be performed easily.
