Breast cancer is the top cancer in women both in the developed and the developing world. Dramatically, one-third of these cancer deaths can be decreased if detected and treated early.
The incidence of breast cancer is increasing in the developing world due to increase life expectancy, increase urbanisations and adoption of western lifestyles. So far the only breast cancer screening method that has proved to be effective is mammography screening.
With advancements in mammography screening equipment, there has been a big push towards digital mammography which has proven to outperform other conventional technology (e.g. film and CR mammography) with pros and cons listed below.
Advantages of digital mammography:
- Greater speed and ability to process images that are instantly displayed on a monitor. Software can be used to magnify and manipulate the image during the diagnostic process.
- Substantially lower radiation dosage.
- Easier to store and share images for improved workflow and connectivity to get second opinions.
- Reduced examination time, improved patient comfort, higher patient throughput.
- Greater government reimbursement
The downside is associated higher capital and maintenance costs, fortunately costs have gone down significantly in addition with aid from government reimbursements.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Full-Field Digital Mammography Unit, FairyDR, uses cutting edge technology to integrate screening, diagnosis, and interventional capabilities into one system.
Designed with fast and comfortable positioning, accurate dose efficiency, image quality and digital connectivity in mind.
For comfort and safety for the examinee
- Microcontroller based embedded platform to ensure accurate delivery of exposure parameters.
- Earthing interlock is provided in the machine for safety of user and machine. (without proper earthing machine would show error).
- Fast compression release mechanism in case if patient is uncomfortable with compression.
- Automatic breast release after X-Ray exposure is completed.
Maximum capability for the operator
- Motorised iso-centric movements for all types of angular rotations for quicker position and operator convenience.
- Stereotactic biopsy device – turning mammography into diagnostic system
- High resolution LCD monitor for viewing images.
- Wide range of other features and capabilities.
Faster workflow for high patient throughput
- Compact DICOM workstation where operator is never far from the patient.
- Superb imaging software for complete control of all image capture functions delivering diagnostic images instantly.
- Allows operator to move X-ray images electronically to remote workstations, image archives, and printers.
Overall clearer picture for better diagnosis
Digital mammography is proven and medically necessary for patients with dense breast tissue.- Contrast can be adjusted and sections of an image can be magnified after the mammogram is complete making it easier to see subtle differences between tissues. The ability to increase contrast when imaging dense tissue is particularly important, as dense breast tissue and malignant cells both appear to be white on a film mammogram.
