“Our goal is to provide advanced breast health care to our customers and we are excited to provide Wickenburg Community Hospital with the latest technology that will enhance their ability to provide quality care to the people of their community and surrounding areas,” said Rick Banner, Sr. Director, Marketing, FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. “With the recent install, patients will have access to the latest technology that is designed to improve visibility for greater diagnostic confidence and provide patients with a more comfortable exam experience.

The FUJIFILM ASPIRE Cristalle with DBT combines state-of-the-art, Hexagonal Close Pattern (HCP) capture technology and intelligent image processing, optimizing dose and contrast based on individual breast composition. The result is low dose and fast acquisition of exceptional images for all breast types. DBT acquires a series of low-dose images of the breast at different angles; the acquired reconstructed tomographic images provide greater visibility of the breast tissue which can help radiologists identify lesions which might otherwise be difficult to visualize in traditional 2D mammogram images because of the presence of overlapping breast structures.
In addition, patients can experience a noticeable improvement in comfort during procedures with Fujifilm’s patented, flexible comfort paddle design, which provides gentle and even compression that is designed to more comfortably adapt to patient curves.
