2D digital mammography is the most common imaging method for breast cancer screenings. Typically each breast is twice positioned and briefly compressed for a few seconds to acquire four X-ray images. Planmed Clarity 2D supports additional diagnostic work-up examinations and biopsy procedures, which may include additional mammographic views, magnification imaging, and biopsy procedures.
Planmed TriFilter technology
Planmed TriFilter technology enables excellent image quality with low dose. This low dose technology with specialized processing enables perfect mammograms that show all of the delicate breast tissue structures with optimal contrast.
MaxView
MaxView™ Breast Positioning System enables to achieve optimal breast tissue visibility in all routine mammography views. MaxView uses moving radiolucent sheets above and below the compressed breast. These sheets are easily and quickly inserted into the upper and lower MaxView traction modules.
Clinical Practice
The images below will show the whole delicate breast tissue structures with optimal contrast that can be adjusted to meet every radiologist individual needs. Thickness equalization, grayscale optimization, contrast enhancement, edge/line enhancement, skin line enhancement and noise reduction are optimized for each image, whether it is a high density breast or implant patient The Acquisition Workstation software is an easy to use software for the technologist. It features automatic hanging protocols and simple tools for different tasks.
2D Images
MaxView Images
Right Cranio Caudal (RCC) view with MaxView™ applied. More breast tissues are visible in the image, including the pectoral muscle (arrow). LeftCranio Caudal (LCC) view without MaxView™. The pectoral muscle is not visible, consequently leaving a portion of the breast outside the field of view.
RightMedio-Lateral Oblique (RMLO) with MaxView™ applied. The inframammary fold and significantly more pectoral muscle is visible in the image (arrow). LeftMedio-Lateral Oblique (LMLO) view without MaxView™. A large portion of the breast tissue is left outside the field of view.
