Mammographic Workstation Provides Detailed Diagnosis for Early Detection

The latest version of a mammography workstation for the first time combines tomosynthesis, three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound and 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with 2D mammography. That way, breast care specialists can interpret images from various examinations of one patient at a glance.

When mammography indicates a lump in the breast, radiologists frequently have to use additional imaging techniques to acquire a precise diagnosis. To evaluate the various images from ultrasound, MRI, and mammography systems, there is typically a dedicated workstation for each. The latest version of the mammography workstation Syngo Mammo Report from Siemens Healthcare (Erlangen, Germany) enables radiologists to display images from different examinations simultaneously. In addition to saving time, the direct comparison of results allows for a more comprehensive diagnosis.

Furthermore, Syngo Mammo Report supports 3D applications for ultrasound, mammography, and MRI. Three-dimensional imaging techniques are becoming increasingly important in the early detection of breast cancer, especially for patients with dense breast tissue or with a family history of breast cancer.

Syngo Mammo Report also allows users to read images from other vendors' imaging systems. Moreover, the workstation can be integrated into the radiology information systems of different departments, such as the breast center or the radiology.
