Breast Tomosynthesis

With the Sectra Breast Tomosynthesis Package you can include reading of tomosynthesis images in your regular mammography reading workflow. This significantly increases efficiency as the need to move to a dedicated modality workstation is eliminated. Sectra is one of the first imaging vendors to offer support for import and review of this completely new DICOM format.

A complete solution

In order for you to take full diagnostic advantage of the tomosynthesis format you need to be able to seamlessly scroll through the slices during review. This requires monitors that feature high update frequencies as well as the high resolution needed for mammography reading. The Sectra Breast Tomosynthesis Package includes support for monitors that meet these demands.

A turnkey solution

With the Sectra Breast Tomosynthesis Package, Sectra’s vendor-neutral multi-modality Breast Imaging PACS is prepared for seamless transfer of the new images from the modality into your reading workflow. Display protocols ensure that they are hung according to radiologists’ preferences for optimal viewing and comparison.

True multi-modality capabilities

Sectra Tomosynthesis Package extends the multi-modality capabilities already available in Sectra’s breast imaging workstation, IDS7/mx. The user can benefit from images from any modality, including ultrasound, MRI and tomosynthesis, displayed side-by-side with the mammograms.
