★ Fujifilm presents a new digital mammograph with lower radiation and contrast support at the European Radiology Congress

The European Congress of Radiology ECR 2024 which was held in Vienna (Austria) has just closed its doors under the slogan Next generation radiology. It happened in it Fujifilm Healthcare It has introduced some of its key technological innovations such as Amulet Sophinity, a new digital breast imaging device that operates with lower radiation doses and supports the use of contrast.

The major new in this edition, Amulet Sophinity, significantly improves diagnostic accuracy, reduces radiation dose and provides greater patient comfort without compromising image quality. Something essential to improve current tumor screening techniques, thus accelerating therapeutic decisions. According to European Commission forecasts referred to at the conference, cancer diagnoses will rise by 24% between now and 2035, surpassing cardiovascular disease as the leading cause of death in the European Union.

characteristics

The Amulet Sophinity system is equipped with contrast-enhanced digital mammography (CEDM) technology to detect and monitor lesions. Supports dual-angle tomosynthesis with sharp image reconstruction that improves visibility of calcifications, providing images that focus on the structures you want to see. This facilitates the observation of lesions that are difficult to detect due to overlapping mammary gland structures, and is most effective in cases of dense breasts.

Compared with current models, it can take a larger number of tomosynthesis images, thus increasing the amount of information received for more accurate studies. In this way, decision-making by healthcare professionals is also facilitated and therapeutic processes are accelerated in cases where cancer becomes evident.

The Sophinity mascot is also equipped with the function GPS mapDeveloped with artificial intelligence. It is a table-top projection that helps compare the current mammogram with the previous one, taking into account skin lines and the position of the nipple. This reduces the time and effort needed for image alignment and other reading tasks, improving workflow.

“The European Congress of Radiology (ECR) is a reference space for Fujifilm Healthcare, where we always showcase the most innovative radiological diagnostic solutions. On this occasion, we present the Amulet Sophinity digital mammography system, which is not just a product, but a platform that will house all imaging technologies.” Mammography in one place which will ensure patients a clear and accurate diagnosis.Indicates Pedro Mesquita, General Manager, Fujifilm Spain and Portugal.
