A new type of device. The GE Senographe 2000 is an advanced digital mammography system developed by GE Healthcare. It was one of the first mammography systems to offer full-field digital mammography (FFDM), which allows for the capture and storage of breast images in a digital format. This marked a significant advancement in breast imaging, improving image quality, diagnostic accuracy, and workflow efficiency in mammography screening and diagnostic procedures.
Key Features
-
Full-Field Digital Mammography (FFDM). Unlike traditional film mammography, the GE Senographe 2000 uses digital detectors to capture images. These high-resolution images can be enhanced, magnified, or manipulated, which helps radiologists detect abnormalities more accurately.
-
Image Quality. The digital technology behind the Senographe 2000 enables sharper, more detailed images of breast tissue, making it easier to detect small calcifications, masses, and other signs of breast cancer.
-
Improved Workflow. Digital mammography systems like the Senographe 2000 reduce the time needed to process and review images. Digital storage of images also allows for easier sharing and comparison across medical teams, improving collaborative diagnosis.
-
Lower Radiation Doses. Digital mammography tends to require lower doses of radiation compared to traditional film mammography, which is beneficial for patient safety without compromising image quality.
-
Advanced Breast Imaging Capabilities. The system includes features such as spot compression and magnification views, enhancing its diagnostic potential for both screening and diagnostic mammography.
-
Patient Comfort. Designed with patient comfort in mind, the GE Senographe 2000 offers gentle compression and flexible positioning to make the experience less uncomfortable for patients during mammograms.
