It also features an automated ComfortMove ergonomic feature that minimises physical strain during patient positioning and a laser guide aids in accurate breast placement. These enhancements are expected to significantly improve workflow efficiency.

For patients, the MAMMOMAT B.brilliant offers the ComfortPackage, which includes an ergonomic hand grip, an optimised face shield for stability, and a personalised soft breast compression system.

Redesigned ambient light display and curved compression paddles further contribute to patient comfort.

The 3D tomosynthesis portion of the system, named PlatinumTomo, is under FDA review but is already available in Asia, Europe and South America. It has the widest angular range of 50° for tomosynthesis, matching the company’s MAMMOMAT Revelation system.

Some of the features of the 3D technology include a detector and X-ray tube with z-Sharp technology, similar to that used in computed tomography scanners, allowing for continuous tube motion and stable focal spot size.

Last month, the FDA granted clearance for Siemens Healthineers’ CIARTIC Move, a self-driving mobile C-arm designed to automate repositioning during surgery.
