A mobile mammography workflow system provides worklist download, image acquisition, and data transfer to picture archiving and communication systems (PACS). The system has been developed to service the whole range of modern mobile mammogram needs.
A mobile mammography roadshow showcasing Siemens Healthcare's (Erlangen, Germany) future-proof full-field digital mammography (FFDM) system planned for a summer and autumn tour of 15 hospitals in England, Scotland, and Wales. The Mammomat Inspiration will be on the touring from June to October 2009.
Without needing to leave Trust sites, mammographers and radiologists will be encouraged to view the system and receive detailed information on the stereotactic biopsy and tomosynthesis features that make the system a future-proof investment for symptomatic and screening needs. "With the capability to examine 15 patients an hour, the workflow efficiencies that the Inspiration offers are highly beneficial in a screening environment that demands speed, plus it doesn't compromise on the comfort of patients. New compression technologies, paddle design, and the MoodLight feature that emits calming hues into the examination area to ease anxiety, combine with data transfer and archive functionality to support next-generation breast care,” stated Lynn Blackburn, product manager of the Inspiration at Siemens Healthcare.
The syngo MammoReport workstation offers high-volume processing power suitable for screening and diagnostic work. For example, one case of eight mammograms can be called up in less than one second. The presentation of high image quality, full spatial resolution with magnification, zoom and pan, radiology information system (RIS) integration and computer-aided detection (CAD) support enables efficient workflow, meeting the pressures faced by hospitals and clinics today.
