On the base the system is also equipped with displays showing the more relevant technical parameters, such as compressor height, compression force, rotational and inclination angle.
High configurability
A large range of compressor paddles and optional accessories for further projections are available to suit a typical screening workflow.
Wide range of movements
The tilting movement of the gantry requires the patient to lean to this, improving the relaxation of the pectoral muscle and an increase of up to 2 cm in breast tissue included in the field of view*.
Furthermore, the tilting movement in the opposite direction facilitates the positioning of women in a wheelchair.
