GE 800T Senographe Mammography

The GE 800T Senographe is an analog mammography system developed by GE Healthcare, primarily used for breast cancer screening and diagnostic imaging. It is part of the Senographe family, a well-known line of mammography systems designed to produce high-quality breast images. The GE Senographe 800T offers a range of features aimed at improving both image quality and patient comfort.

Key Features

1. Analog Imaging. Unlike modern digital mammography systems, the GE 800T Senographe uses film-based technology to capture breast images. Despite being analog, the system is known for delivering high-resolution images essential for detecting breast abnormalities like masses, calcifications, or lesions.

2. Advanced Compression System. To ensure better image quality and minimize patient discomfort, the Senographe 800T comes with an adjustable compression system, which optimizes the thickness of the breast tissue during imaging. Proper compression helps to reduce motion artifacts and enhances image clarity.

3. Reliable Performance. The GE 800T is designed for routine breast screenings and is commonly used in hospitals and diagnostic centers. Even though newer digital technologies have largely replaced analog systems, the 800T was recognized for its consistent image quality in the detection of early-stage breast cancers.

4. Customization Options. The system includes customizable settings for imaging different breast sizes and tissue densities. This flexibility allows radiologists to adjust exposure levels to optimize image detail based on patient needs.

Application

The GE 800T Senographe is primarily used for:

• Routine mammography screening for early detection of breast cancer.
• Diagnostic mammography to assess abnormal findings from physical exams or screening mammograms.
• Spot magnification and compression views to get detailed images of specific areas of concern.
