Learn more about our digital mammography systems
The Helianthus Series embraces three different full-field digital flat-panel mammography systems that can perform both screening and 2D or 3D diagnostics. All the mammography equipments benefit from state-of-the-art techniques to detect breast cancer, including dual energy (contrast-enhanced mammography).
Breast Tomosynthesis technology
Helianthus DBT
Helianthus DBT
15° SCREENING
The DBT smallest scan angle is optimal when an extremely short scan time is required (even 2.5s) to minimize movement, artifacts, and patient discomfort
24° STANDARD DIAGNOSTICS
The DBT intermediate angle always has a short scan time (4s ) and excellent sharpness. It guarantees a better resolution and is an optimal choice for standard diagnostics procedures
50° IN-DEPTH DIAGNOSTICS
The DBT wide-angle, requiring a longer scan time (7.7s ) improves the discrimination of overlapping tissues (in case of in-depth analysis)

Helianthus DBT
High resolution
2D and 3D images
COMBO modality: 2D and 3D images acquisition during the same compression cycle.
Software M-View/VI: 2D synthethic images.
Automatic Collimation.
“Smart μ Press” Compression.

Helianthus DBT
Better usability
Multi-switches to assist the operator in managing the motorized movements of the C-arm.
Color touchscreen displays to view and manage all of the exam parameters.
When rotating the C-arm a very sensitive obstacle detection system ensures maximum patient safety.

Helianthus DBT
Stand-alone Acquisition Workstation
This configuration includes a 15″ touchscreen monitor that facilitates complete control of the mammography system.

Helianthus DBT
Options
Bym 3D DMD
A three-dimensional biopsy device allows the execution of stereotactic or tomosynthesis biopsy procedures.
Magnification Kit
Geometric magnification device (1.5x or 1.8x or 2x). Without an anti-diffusion grid, the radiation dose applied is significantly reduced.
Compression paddles
Different compression paddles are available as options (i.e. specific for the geometric magnification, for the examination of details, and perforated for two-dimensional biopsy procedures).

Customized digital Mammography
Helianthus
Helianthus
VERSATILE PERFORMANCE
This mammo unit only allows the acquisition of 2D digital mammography images. However, the system is designed to be integrated at any time with the most current diagnostic methods, such as tomosynthesis and dual-energy (contrast-enhanced mammography). A wide range of accessories allows the configuration for all interventional practices (including stereotactic and tomo-guided biopsy).
IMPROVED SAFETY
Smoother movements thanks to the isocentric servo-assisted movements of the C-arm.
Extensive rotational and translation movements for patient's quick and easy positioning.
All the exam parameters are easily accessible on the 7" color touchscreen displays on the C-arm's sides.
UP-TO-DATE FEATURES
To guarantee confident and accurate diagnosis, the Helianthus system is outfitted with state-of-the-art features such as automatic collimation, “Smart μ Press” compression system and the powerful POEt (Processing for Optimal Enhancement) software.
