With the introduction of the MAMMOMAT Novation S, Siemens provides a cost-effective solution for facilities that are making the transition to digitalbreast imaging but do not have the need for advanced diagnostic functionality.The system is suited to large facilities that operate screening-only satellitecenters, as well as those that perform both screening and diagnosticexaminations, but for whom investing in only diagnostic systems is cost-prohibitive because of the volume of screening exams performed.

"The MAMMOMAT Novation S provides a digital mammography solution that isdesigned to address the needs of patients, clinicians and administratorsalike," said Anders Steiner, vice president, Special Systems Division, SiemensMedical Solutions. "Now healthcare facilities have the option of a system thatfits their clinical and business needs, providing intuitive, streamlinedworkflow and enabling exceptional throughput to help maximize theirinvestments."
The MAMMOMAT Novation S utilizes the latest full-field amorphous Selenium(aSe) detectors, which convert X-ray energy into an electric charge to helpdetect small and low-contrast objects, yielding excellent image quality. Toachieve optimum dose, the MAMMOMAT Novation S utilizes the same technology asthe MAMMOMAT NovationDR - OpComp and OpDose.
The Acquisition Workstation (AWS) comes standard with the MAMMOMATNovation S Siemens, which may also be used with the syngo(R) MammoReportbreast care workplace. Combined with these dedicated workstations and a commonuser interface that intuitively drives workflow, the MAMMOMAT Novation Sprovides a comprehensive solution for optimized mammography screeningprocesses. Through DICOM compatibility, patient data are readily stored inexisting digital clinical archives of virtually any scale and may be printedas needed.
