Lorad M-IV Platinum Mammography

The Lorad M-IV Platinum is an advanced analog mammography system developed by Hologic, designed to deliver high-quality breast imaging for both screening and diagnostic purposes. Renowned for its superior image quality, patient comfort, and operational efficiency, it has been a preferred choice in numerous healthcare facilities worldwide.

Key Features

• HTC® Grid: The High Transmission Cellular Grid enhances image contrast by effectively reducing scatter radiation, resulting in clearer and more detailed images.

• Bi-Angular X-Ray Tube: Equipped with high-speed anode rotation, this tube offers significantly higher mA loading and output while maintaining precise focal spot size tolerances. This feature reduces exposure times and minimizes motion artifacts, improving imaging for both full-field and magnification views.

• FAST Paddle: The Fully Automatic Self-Adjusting Tilt Paddle ensures uniform compression across the entire breast, enhancing image quality and patient comfort by reducing motion artifacts and preventing over-compression.

• Automatic Exposure Control (AEC): The 3-cell, 7-position AEC sensor allows for precise tissue sampling and accurate calculation of exposure techniques, ensuring consistent image quality across various breast sizes and densities.

• Automatic Collimation: This feature eliminates the need for manual adjustments by automatically setting the field of view according to the attached compression device, ensuring correct collimation for each examination.

Advantages

• Exceptional Image Quality: The combination of the HTC Grid and bi-angular X-ray tube provides high-resolution images, facilitating accurate diagnoses.

• Enhanced Patient Comfort: Design elements such as the FAST Paddle and streamlined gantry promote a more comfortable and less intimidating experience for patients.

• Operational Efficiency: Automated features like AEC and automatic collimation streamline workflow, allowing technologists to focus more on patient care.

• Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of procedures, including screening, diagnostic mammography, and interventional procedures like stereotactic biopsies.
