Swift And Accurate Breast Biopsies Via Full-Field Digital Mammography

Patients of the Mammography Department at NHS Fife's Queen Margaret Hospital are now benefitting from faster treatment due to the installation of a Full-Field Direct Digital Mammography system from Siemens Healthcare. The MAMMOMAT Inspiration™ includes a stereotactic biopsy attachment and syngo® MammoReport workstation.

The stereotactic biopsy attachment provides the clinician with valuable guidance through the biopsy procedure enabling vertical and lateral access to breast lesions, of particular use when trying to access technically challenging areas in the breast. The attachment has an easy to use set up and is lightweight, weighing less than 5kg. It also allows clinicians to control the tube angle directly from the workstation, eliminating the need to walk between the system and station.
