Ushering in a new level in performance, comfort and efficiency

Hologic latest addition to its breast health portfolio, the Affirm™ breast biopsy guidance system, represents the next step in the evolution of upright breast biopsy procedures. Designed to work seamlessly with any Selenia® Dimensions® digital mammography system, the Affirm system delivers exceptional images, accurate targeting, and streamlined workflow.

The Affirm system's user controls are fully integrated in the Selenia Dimensions acquisition workstation, ensuring a quick and easy transition to interventional mode. Workflow is further enhanced by the system's intuitive Cartesian targeting, automated x-ray tube movements, and a sophisticated, easy-to-use operator interface that minimizes procedure steps. The Selenia Dimensions 70 cm SID, the longest in the industry, combined with the Affirm system's 18 cm x 24 cm biopsy field of view and clear compression paddles provides an added level of ease and comfort for patient positioning.

In addition, its advanced, ergonomic design provides users even greater comfort and workflow efficiencies. This compact, balanced system, weighing approximately 15 pounds, can be mounted on the Selenia Dimensions gantry in just seconds, and the long SID provides generous clearance to facilitate installation of a wide variety of biopsy devices.

This revolutionary system is designed to provide biopsy solutions for today and the future. Innovations including a novel, 10° angled biopsy approach provides an unobstructed view of lesions, and opens the pathway for tomorrow's advances in breast biopsy.
