FDA has approved a Siemens Healthineers PMA for its tomosynthesis or three-dimensional breast imaging technology for its Mammomat B.brilliant mammography platform. The approval includes new 3D image acquisition and image reconstruction technology, according to the company.

The device features a 50-degree wide-angle technology to overcome the issue of overlapping breast tissue that is common with 2D imaging, regardless of breast density, Siemens says. “It separates overlapping layers of breast tissue to help visualize lesions that would otherwise be obscured by providing up to 3.5 times the depth resolution (or tissue separation) of some other mammography systems,” it says. “Additionally, new UltraHD image reconstruction technology reduces metal artifacts, leverages for crisp visualization of calcifications, and offers customizable image settings.”
