CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION
The SENOGRAPHE DMR is an x-ray system used primarily for mammography
examinations in the standing or sitting position and under various views and magnification
factors.
Breast puncture by tridimensional localization is an additional function by using one of the
following options:
. Stereotix 2,
. Senovision.
If required, the system can provide radiographs of the hand and foot of high image quality.
The major features of the SENOGRAPHE DMR are the dual track x-ray tube, entirely
automatic exposure modes, and its new ergonomic design.
Each of the two anode tracks is composed of a different metal. This allows the best
compromise between contrast and dose given to the patient.
The rhodium (Rh) track provides improved penetration with a reduced radiation dose to the
very dense breast. The molybdenum (Mo) track provides high quality, mammography
images in all other cases.
Standard or magnification examinations can be performed with each track. Focal spot sizes
are: 0.3 for contact exams and 0.1 for magnification exams.
Two modes of automatic exposure are available:
Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) Mode controls density (mAs) and provides
exposures of constant optical density.
Automatic Optimization Parameters (AOP) Mode controls radiation. For a given
priority (dose reduction, contrast quality or compromise of dose and contrast), the AOP
Mode selects the track, filter, and kV. It includes the AEC mode, and provides an automatic
selection of the radiologic parameters (track, filter, kV, and mAs).
The new design ensures speed and convenient positioning, with examination comfort for
the patient.
