Southern Scientific Limited has installed a Giotto full field digital mammography unit in the new Gloucestershire Breast Screening Unit in Cheltenham.

With Biopsy Digit SL and Mammobed the Giotto, is a two-in-one mammography unit, allowing one mammography room to be used for routine screening purposes with conversion to a prone stereotactic biopsy unit in minutes.  Superintendent radiographer Caroline Dobson said: “With no processing time, clinicians are able to make a more rapid assessment of cases.”
