FDA has approved a FujiFilm Medical Systems PMA for the Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT), as an optional software upgrade for its ASPIRE Cristalle digital mammography system. “With the DBT software option, the x-ray tube moves through an arc around the breast, acquiring a series of low-dose image slices at different angles, producing a three-dimensional view allowing radiologist to see through tissue less obstructed,” the company says. The acquired images are reconstructed into a series of high-resolution 1 mm slices displayed individually or dynamically in a cine mode — making it easier to identify lesions that might be difficult to see in traditional 2D mammography images due to overlapping breast structures, it says.
