3D Breast Tomosynthesis

Available on Senographe* Essential

MORE CLARITY. MORE CONFIDENCE. LESS DOSE.

GE’s SenoClaire* breast tomosynthesis is a three-dimensional imaging technology that
uses a low-dose short X-ray sweep around the compressed breast with only nine exposures.
SenoClaire, powered by ASiR
and masses, giving you more clinical confi dence while delivering the same amount of dose
as a digital mammography acquisition of the same view.

DBT*

, provides superior sensitivity for architectural distortions

MORE CLARITY MORE CONFIDENCE

> See more clearly

SenoClaire improves the specificity of mammography by improving
lesion margin visibility.

> Screen more effectively

Due to its low dose and non-inferior clinical accuracy, SenoClaire has the potential
to replace digital mammography exams in screening at half the dose to detect
breast cancer. As part of the learning curve process, an additional CC view may be
considered along with the 3D MLO view, which will help radiologists become more
comfortable with reviewing only the 3D MLO sequence in the near future.

> Characterize more specifically

SenoClaire enables better characterization of malignant and benign findings
by providing a 3D MLO view that has superior detection for architectural distortions
and masses

compared with 2D FFDM. Clinical results have shown that the recall

rate after a 3D MLO examination is lower than the recall rate after a 2D FFDM exam.

Powered by SenoClaire technology:

• The SenoClaire detector delivers high DQE at low dose for visualizing

microcalcifications without binning, a process that regroups pixels for faster
readout speeds and improved signal-to-noise ratios, but with reduced image quality.

• Step-and-shoot tube motion preserves microcalcification sharpness and avoids

image blur, since the tube makes a complete stop for each of the nine exposures.
This provides higher peak contrast for microcalcifications than traditional
continuous tube motion.

• An anti-scatter solution designed for tomosynthesis, the SenoClaire grid in 3D

reduces scattered radiation and improves detectability in 3D for breasts of
above-average thickness, while preserving dose and performance.

• SenoClaire uses ASiR

DBT

, an iterative reconstruction algorithm that yields FFDM-like
images and positively impacts microcalcification conspicuity versus the traditional
Filtered Back Projection (FBP) algorithm.

and performance, so you can be confident in your
investment.

Connect with compatibility

SenoClaire images are compatible with major PACS
providers (with local variability), allowing integration
into your environment and helping you make
optimal use of your investment. With the IDI
MammoWorkstation, radiologists can smoothly
navigate through the DBT dataset using dedicated
2D/3D hanging protocols and specific ergonomic
features:

• Straightforward visual identification of all series

of tomosynthesis planes and slabs

• Dedicated tools to review tomosynthesis data sets:

cine loop, bookmarks, breast localizer,
breast height ruler

• V-Preview reconstructed images from tomosynthesis
