1 MAMMOMAT NovationDRDigital Mammography at its Very BestMAMMOMAT NovationDRThe leading edge in clinical workflowGoing Digital presents a unique opportunityto optimize the entire clinical workflow inmammography. Now the opportunity is morecompelling than ever as Siemens MedicalSolutions, a leader in high quality imagingand networking solutions, introduces itsdigital Mammography system, MAMMOMAT NovationDR combines the provenand favorite features of MAMMOMAT 3000 Nova analog Mammography system with thelatest Digital full-field technology.

2 It offersthe best of both worlds and so much workflow advantages in Digital datahandling and communicationMAMMOMAT NovationDR features theAcquisition Workstation (AWS) with full DICOM capabilities combined with the superiorspeed of MammoReportPlus, the dedicatedbreastcare softcopy reporting patient information, such as previousexaminations and reports from other moda-lities, is just a mouse-click workflow advantages in a digitalall-in-one unitAs with all high-end Siemens mammographysystems, MAMMOMAT NovationDR is equippedwith a pivoting bucky.

3 This enables one unit toperform it all full-field Digital Mammography , Digital spot imaging and Digital -imaging-basedstereotactic workflow advantages in a digitalmammography standLast but not least, MAMMOMAT NovationDRfeatures a large Digital plate that can imagelarge breasts just as an analog system specially designed compression plate allowscentral isocentric breast positioning, makingfull use of the large NovationDR The benchmark in clinical data flow3 MammoReportPlusDedicated softcopyreporting workstationAcquisitionWorkstation (AWS)Pivoting bucky( Digital stereotaxy)Opfocus , optimizedcompression plateDigital detector(a-Se; 24 cm x 29 cm) MAMMOMAT NovationDR utilizes the latest full-field detector technology based on amorphousselenium (a-Se).

4 The new flat panel detectoruses a photoconductor to absorb the X-raysand directly generate the electrical signalwithout any intermediate steps. This direct-to- Digital technology yields excellent the key advantages of the direct-to- Digital technology a-Se to indirecttechnologies Significantly better X-ray absorption showingsuperior DQE* for better detection of smalland low contrast objects Smaller pixel size for increased spatialresolution (> 7 lp/mm)4 The Digital detector of MAMMOMAT NovationDRprovides excellent image quality with minimaldose.

5 The large format size with 24 cm x 29 cmallows imaging of almost all breast sizes. Thefield of view for both large- and small-formatimages adjusts automatically to the compres-sion plate in use. In addition, both magnifications are possible with only onemagnification quality in Mammography greatlydepends on the characteristics of the X-ray systems offer three anode/filtercombinations at the tube head to perfectlymatch breast density and thickness: Mo/Mo,Mo/Rh and dual-target Tungsten tube technology andthe high mA output, MAMMOMAT NovationDRfeatures the possibility to examine even densebreasts with shorter exposure times andsignificantly reduced maximize patient comfort, the flat paneldetector of MAMMOMAT NovationDR featuresrounded edges and the revolutionary OpfocusTMcompression plate.

6 Opfocus allows centralpositioning of the breast and the most efficientuse of the detector area. This new compressiontechnique excludes no information andallows a larger area of the pectoral muscleto be included in the image.* DQE = Detective Quantum Efficiency: DQE measures theefficiency of the detection process of an image detectorgiven by squared ratio of the output signal-to-noise ratioto the input signal-to-noise NovationDROutstanding image qualityand patient comfortPatient data flow5 With MAMMOMAT NovationDR y ou gain all theadvantages of a Digital system, plus all thepatient comfort and user friendly features ofMAMMOMAT 3000 Nova.

7 SoftSpeed slows down the compressionplate after its initial contact with the breastand then adjusts the speed according tocompression resistance Opcomp compresses only as long as thebreast is soft and pliable and stops at thepoint of optimal compression for maximumimage quality Opdose automatically selects the bestanode/filter combination (Mo/Mo, Mo/Rh,W/Rh) and the lowest dose for the individualbreast characteristics Isocentric and motorized movements ofthe swivel arm enable precise and easypositioning of the breast in all NovationDR f eatures an integratedgenerator and movable glass protection roomspace requirements are NovationDR Outstanding finishing touches add up tounparalleled workflow NovationDRFor the entire Digital work-upMAMMOMAT NovationDR , equipped with theworld-renowned, extremely popular pivotingbucky.

8 Allows the integration of Opdima digitalspot imaging and Digital biopsy systems. As aresult, MAMMOMAT NovationDR can host theentire Digital Mammography work-up in oneunit, maximizing system utilization. Opdimafeatures the highest available resolution up to 20 NovationDR with Opdima providing the advantages of an all-in-one digitalunit for the entire Digital mammographywork-up: Digital Mammography screening anddiagnostics Digital and geometrical magnification Digital high resolution spot imaging Digital stereotaxy fine and core needle biopsy Digital needle localization Digital specimen radiography Digital galactography6 Patient data flow7 Digital screening and stereotacticbiopsy can be performed in acomfortable sitting or recumbentposition.

9 Thanks to the specialergonomic design of MAMMOMATN ovationDR, patient and operatoraccess is excellent and withoutcompromise imaging patientsin wheelchairs or positioned ona table is no NovationDR The all-in-one Digital NovationDRSuperior Digital workflow8To take full advantage of the benefits of digitalmammography, Siemens has developedtwo dedicated workstations for MAMMOMATN ovationDR. These ideally matched units,Acquisition Workstation (AWS) andMammoReportPlus softcopy reportingworkstation, combine with MAMMOMATN ovationDR to provide an ideal, comprehensivesystem solution for clinical processes inmammography.

10 Through DICOM compatibility,the patient data is readily stored in existingclinical archives of any scale or printed functions such as send, query/retrieveand worklist support enable a smooth andstreamlined workflow . Access to reports,examination requests and other patient-dataprovides complete information for qualifiedreporting. Siemens know-how and experiencein IT systems means fully integrated , radiology information systems suchas Novius or MagicSAS can run on the samehardware platform as the also offers a wide range of archivingsolutions to meet an organization s individualneeds for low.
