GE Instrumentarium Diamond

The GE Instrumentarium Diamond is an analog mammography system designed to detect breast abnormalities. Developed with a user-centric approach, it focuses on both clinician and patient needs, aiming to enhance the breast imaging experience.

Key Features

• Intuitive Design: The Diamond system is crafted to be an extension of the user’s actions, facilitating ease of use in breast imaging procedures.

• Integrated Components: It incorporates all essential elements, including the X-ray generator, into a compact design, allowing for better visualization and positioning during examinations.

• Interventional Capabilities: The system is designed to accommodate interventional procedures, enhancing its versatility in clinical settings.

Technological Innovations:

The Diamond system was among the first to employ Instrumentarium’s tuned-aperture computed tomography (TACT) technology, providing dynamic 3D breast imaging capabilities. TACT allows for the acquisition of multiple 2D image slices from different angles, which can be reconstructed into a 3D image, aiding in the detailed assessment of suspicious regions.

Application

Primarily used for breast cancer screening and diagnostic procedures, the Diamond system supports:

• Standard Mammography Examinations: Detecting and evaluating breast abnormalities.

• Interventional Procedures: Facilitating biopsies and other minimally invasive interventions.
