® ® can be used for screening and diagnosis of breast cancer. The Selenia Dimensions (2D or 3D) system is intended for use in the same clinical applications as a 2D mammography system for screening mammograms. Specifically, the Selenia Dimensions system can be used to generate 2D digital mammograms and 3D mammograms.
