    Make Fast, Confident Decisions

    While 3D Mammography exams offer superior clinical performance compared to 2D alone,1-4 some radiologists want more: higher image quality, more detail, improved read times and low dose.

    Powered by AI, Intelligent 2D imaging technology produces robust, yet natural looking, synthesised 2D images that are well correlated with the 3D mammography data. This enables radiologists to quickly and confidently see subtle mammography features and lesion morphology.*

    See Clearer for an Easier Diagnosis

    Retain more features of interest from high-resolution 3D mammography data. Use AI-powered analytics to confidently visualise subtle tissue features and lesions in the reconstructed, synthesised 2D images.

    Save Exam Time, Reduce Dose

    Intelligent 2D eliminates the need for additional conventional 2D exposure and reduces scan time by about 50%, expediting the exam workflow and improving patient comfort.5

    Streamline Reading Workflow

    • Exceptional 2D image contrast, sharp images with enhanced background and localised density appearance to enable FFDM-like representation of parenchymal tissue at 70μm resolution.  
    • Move from suspicious areas detected on the 2D image to the point of interest on the 3D mammography slice.
    • Lower dose as a new image is generated using machine-learning algorithms and high-resolution 3D mammography data for a robust, natural-looking image.
    • 3.7 second scans reduce compression time, minimise motion and improve patient comfort.
