The AMULET SOPHINITY system from Fujifilm uses a high-resolution detector with a pixel size of 50 microns. VS Hospitals has introduced a new 2D digital mammography system to strengthen breast cancer screening and diagnosis.
The AMULET SOPHINITY system from Fujifilm uses a high-resolution detector with a pixel size of 50 microns, allowing detailed imaging of breast tissue, including tiny microcalcifications, which can sometimes be an early indicator of breast abnormalities.
Mammography uses low-dose X-rays to examine breast tissue and can help identify abnormalities that may not be detectable through physical examination. The new system has intelligent exposure control, which adjusts X-ray exposure according to breast composition while maintaining image quality.
AI-based positioning support is designed to assist in accurate positioning and consistent image acquisition. The equipment takes approximately five seconds for standard image acquisition and 12 seconds for high-resolution imaging.
It also has features such as flexible positioning, intelligent breast compression and automatic decompression to help reduce discomfort during the examination. Speaking at the launch, S. Subramanian, Chairman and Managing Director of V.S.
Hospitals, said early detection was important in breast cancer care and that mammography played a key role in identifying breast abnormalities. The hospital will offer free mammography screening to underprivileged people throughout November 2026.
Those seeking to avail themselves of the screening can contact the hospital at 7448850500.
