Philips receives FDA clearance to market MicroDose SI Mammography System
Philips has announced FDA clearance of its MicroDose
SI full-field digital mammography (FFDM) system. In addition to the
capabilities of the original MicroDose approved in 2011, the company
touts the SI model’s ability to do single-shot spectroscopy, yet that
particular feature is not yet available in the U.S.
The MicroDose device use X-ray photon-counting detectors to perform
breast tissue imaging at a considerably lower dose compared to
traditional mammography. It is hoped the technology will improve the
ability of radiologists to spot tumors within dense breast tissue.
