EXELLENT IMAGE QUALITY
- Direct conversion technology a-Se detector
- Tungsten anode & special filter for low dose levels
- Raffaello: the most complete & intuitive user interface
At IMS we know that perfect image quality is a pre-requisite for the early detection of breast cancer. This is why, in 1998, we have chosen and developed our FFDM unit based on the no.1 detector in the market: Anrad Selenium2, second generation of amorphous Selenium technology. GIOTTO IMAGE 3D provides 85 micron pixel size chosen by physicists because it represents the best possible compromise between the highest spatial resolution and the lowest noise.

Selenium2 is the digital mammography detector with the highest S/N ratio and has the best performance in terms of MTF and DQE. This is why it provides the best image quality.
Raffaello, named after the famous Renaissance artist well known for his passion for detail, is also the name of the GIOTTO IMAGE 3D user interface able to clearly demonstrate the smallest detail of breast tissue. It makes use of a very advanced Tissue Equalization Software designed by IMS R&D, able to highlight the smallest lesion even when situated in dense glandular tissue. This is achieved by an intuitive and simple tool management: Raffaello is a sophisticated advanced reading software which is easy to use.
Radiation exposure dose to the patient and image quality are competing factors in mammography. IMS has been the first to introduce a special solution for FFDM: a combination of Tungsten anode tube with a Rh filter. The result is a significant decrease in the dose delivered to the patient.

The Raffello Review Workstation (RWS) with 2 High Resolution monitors is the powerful reading workstation for your daily work. The dedicated screening keypad, the fully automatic AEC able to select the parameters based on the radiological breast density are among the factors able to provide an incomparable image quality and optimal productivity.
The optional CAD, the multi-modality monitor and several other options are available to complete your diagnostic mammography system. Total connectivity is guaranteed by full DICOM conformance. Sharing, retrieving, printing and archiving images is easy with GIOTTO IMAGE 3D.
