GE Senographe DS Mammography

The GE Senographe DS is a digital mammography system. It is designed to provide high-quality breast imaging with enhanced diagnostic accuracy and patient comfort. It is part of GE Healthcare’s mammography portfolio. It is a machine widely used in clinics and hospitals for both screening and diagnostic purposes.

Key Features

1. Full-Field Digital Mammography (FFDM):
   The Senographe DS uses full-field digital mammography technology, which captures high-resolution images of the breast to aid in early detection of breast cancer. Digital images allow radiologists to adjust contrast and zoom in for detailed analysis.

2. Improved Imaging Quality:
   The system uses GE’s proprietary image-processing algorithms to enhance clarity and improve the detection of abnormalities, even in dense breast tissue.

3. Advanced Detector Technology:
   Equipped with an amorphous silicon detector, the system offers precise image capture with uniform image quality across the entire breast, improving diagnostic confidence.

4. Comfort-Focused Design:
   The Senographe DS incorporates patient-centric features, such as ergonomic paddles and compression technology, to minimise discomfort during the imaging procedure.

5. Versatile Applications:
   Beyond routine screenings, the system supports diagnostic imaging, including spot compression and magnification views, providing flexibility for different clinical needs.

6. Integration and Workflow Efficiency:
   The system is DICOM-compatible, allowing seamless integration with PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems) and electronic medical records (EMRs), ensuring efficient image sharing and reporting.

7. Radiation Dose Management:
   Designed to operate with low radiation doses, the Senographe DS balances patient safety with high-quality imaging, meeting international standards for radiation exposure.

Application

• Screening Mammography: Identifies early signs of breast cancer in asymptomatic women.
• Diagnostic Mammography: Investigates abnormal findings from physical exams or screenings.
• Specialised Imaging: Supports additional imaging needs, such as magnification views, for more detailed analysis.
