NHSBSP fully approves system for tomosynthesis
The final stage of approval for Fujifilm’s Amulet Innovality mammography system has been confirmed by the NHS Breast Screening Programme. Following evaluation at Burnley Hospital, the Amulet Innovality is now approved for tomosynthesis in assessment clinics in England.
Fujifilm says it delivered the first dual angle digital breast tomosynthesis system to the market and the Amulet Innovality remains the only mammography system that combines screening and symptomatic tomosynthesis functionality in a single system. It offers patient comfort features including the Fit Sweet compression paddle and Comfort Comp technology which activates controlled decompression during acquisition and fast workflow.
“The Amulet Innovality is already used with tomosynthesis for assessment across Wales, and has also been very popular with the independent sector due to its image quality and patient comfort features,” said Fujifilm Medical Systems UK general manager Adrian Waller. “It is proven to be a reliable system, with recorded uptime of 99.99 per cent in 2018 for all installations across the UK.”
