GE Performa Mammography

The GE Performa Mammography system is a compact, highly efficient analog mammography unit engineered to meet the demands of both screening and diagnostic breast imaging. The system focuses on ease, comfort for the patient, and high image quality, hence versatile in providing services.

Key Features

1. Easy Compression System: GE’s unique compression system is designed to optimize patient comfort while also ensuring that the necessary tissue is imaged, reducing the exposure time and enhancing the overall experience for the patient.

2. Automatic Exposure Control (AEC): This feature automatically adjusts the exposure settings based on the patient’s breast tissue density, improving image quality while minimizing radiation exposure. The AEC offers multiple positioning options, allowing for precise imaging across various breast types.

3. Compact Design: The Performa system is designed to fit into smaller spaces, requiring only a 2.4m by 2.7m room, making it suitable for clinics with space constraints. The unit’s ergonomic design also includes a motorized vertical operation for easier patient positioning and accessibility, including for wheelchair users.

4. Multi-Application Use: The system can handle a variety of mammographic needs, from routine screenings to more detailed diagnostic examinations. It includes magnification options and spot paddles for precise diagnostic views, as well as a biopsy add-on for interventional procedures.
