- IPMC Medical Center is the newest breast imaging practice to offer 3D wide-angle breast tomosynthesis for early breast cancer detection.
- It features the widest image acquisition angle in the industry of 50 degrees, so doctors can see more.
- Personalized compression is tailored to the structure of each woman’s breast for a more comfortable exam.
IPMC Medical Center is advancing the fight against breast cancer with innovative technology designed to overcome barriers to detection and compliance. We chose MAMMOMAT Revelation because the wide-angle technology makes it easier to find even the smallest cancers earlier with greater accuracy. We also see the system’s personalized compression helping women overcome any fear they might have because the MAMMOMAT Revelation exam has been proven to be more comfortable.
The advantage of wide-angle, next-generation 3D mammography
MAMMOMAT Revelation, from Siemens Healthineers, is the next generation of 3D mammography (breast tomosynthesis). Its unique wide 50-degree angle, the industry’s highest depth resolution, captures more detail for extremely high-quality 3D images that increase diagnostic confidence and enable earlier detection of even subtle lesions.
MAMMOMAT Revelation is also the first mammography platform to provide automated breast density measurements at the point of examination. High breast density can increase the risk of developing cancer. Currently, breast density is estimated visually during the image reading process, usually after the patient leaves. With MAMMOMAT Revelation, getting this information during the exam enables immediate and personalized risk assessment, and allows IPMC to provide supplemental imaging while the patient is in her exam.
The comfort of personalized compression
Compression is key to getting an accurate mammogram. However, the associated discomfort and pain are key reasons why women avoid mammography exams. It was important to us to remove any barrier that could stop a woman from getting the screening she needs. With MAMMOMAT Revelation’s Personalized Soft Compression, each woman gets exactly the right amount of compression for her breast type. The force is automatically adjusted for the greatest individual comfort without losing any accuracy.
We are thrilled to bring this breakthrough technology to Philadelphia. When breast cancer is found early, the chances of survival are greatly improved. And MAMMOMAT Revelation is the best system to provide the quality images and patient experience to make early detection possible.
