Siemens Healthineers Secures FDA Approval for Revolutionary 3D Mammography System with 5-Second Acquisition Time

FDA Approval:
Siemens Healthineers has received FDA premarket approval for the 3D portion of its Mammomat B.brilliant mammography system, which features a 50-degree wide-angle technology.

5-Second Acquisition Time:
The system can acquire 50-degree 3D images in less than five seconds, making it the fastest wide-angle tomosynthesis on the market.

Enhanced Diagnostic Capabilities:
The 3D technology helps visualize lesions that would be obscured with 2D imaging, particularly in dense breast tissue, and provides up to 3.5 times the depth resolution of some other mammography systems.

Improved Patient Comfort:
The system includes features such as an ergonomic hand grip, optimized face shield, and personalized breast compression to reduce patient discomfort and improve breast positioning.

Advanced Image Reconstruction:
The system uses UltraHD technology for enhanced calcification visualization, reduced metal artifacts, and customizable image settings, including synthetic 2D images without additional radiation exposure.

Market Impact:
This approval marks a significant milestone in Siemens Healthineers' commitment to women's health and addresses the critical need for patient and technologist comfort in breast cancer screening.
