Philips公司与Fishcer公司合作推广专用乳房X线摄

根据一项新协议的条款，飞利浦医疗公司将出售一种专用数字乳房X线摄像系统并为产品提供服务与支持，该系统整合了飞利浦特有的影像处理和用户界面，从而扩大了产品应用范围。

该系统将基于Fischer影像公司研发的SenoScan2系统，提供50-以及25-微米固有的诊断分辨率。Fischer公司与飞利浦公司签署了为期3年的全面协议。

新型槽式扫描数字乳房X线摄像系统提供的影像清晰度极高，而所放射量却令人惊奇地减少，几乎消除了人工假象。这种高效设计几乎消除了散射辐射的副作用，却无需使用X线滤线栅。影像清晰、分辨率极高，放射剂量减少60％。

Fishcer影像公司总裁Harris Ravine说：“现在，SenoScan2系统允许操作者得到最清晰的影像，为用户度身定制工作台以满足不同需要。飞利浦公司的参与确保了Fischer公司拥有的槽式扫描技术的临床应用，将极大扩大“终端－终端”数字x线乳房摄像术的影像。”

Philips to Sell Specialized Mammography System

Under the terms of a new agreement, Philips Medical Systems (Best, The Netherlands) will sell, service, and support a specialized digital mammography system integrated with Philips’ Unique image processing and user interface, thereby extending its product range.

The system will be based on the SenoScan2 System developed by Fischer Imaging (Denver, CO, USA), which provides both 50- and 25-micron native diagnostic resolution. Fischer signed a three-year, global agreement with Philips.

The new slot scanning digital mammography (SSDM) system provides a very high image resolution with a dramatically reduced radiation dose and virtual elimination of motion artifacts. The technology utilizes a tightly collimated x-ray beam that scans in precise alignment with a narrow slotted image receptor. This highly efficient design virtually eliminates the negative effects of scatter radiation without requiring the use of a grid. The result is clear, high-resolution images with up to 60% reduction in radiation dose.

“Now, the SenoScan2 enables users to fully maximize image quality with customizable workstations that will scale to their needs. The partnership with Philips validates the clinical impact of Fischer’s patented slot scan technology and will dramatically expand access to powerful end-to-end digital mammography detection,” remarked Harris Ravine, Fischer Imaging president and CEO.
