Selenia® Dimensions® Mammography System

Better detection. Clinically superior. Low dose.**

What if we could find breast cancers earlier? See lesions more clearly? Reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies?

Questions like these inspired Hologic researchers and scientists to develop Hologic 3D Mammography™ technology. With the introduction of Selenia Dimensions, we launched the first commercially available system that delivers on the extraordinary promise of breast tomosynthesis.

Over half of the U.S. News and World Report top 20 cancer hospitals offer Hologic 3D Mammography™ technology. More than five million women to date in the United States have already been screened with this life-changing technology, which is now available in 50 states and in over 50 countries.

Selenia Dimensions system's Genius™ 3D Mammography™ exam: Simply a better mammogram.

Hologic has always been at the forefront of breast cancer screening and offers the first breast tomosynthesis technology with proven superior clinical performance to 2D mammography.^1,4 The revolutionary Selenia Dimensions system, which has set the standard in mammography screening, provides:

• Exceptionally sharp images.
• Seamless transition between imaging modes.
• Sophisticated user tools that simplify operation.
• Advanced clinical applications.
• The world's first and only tomosynthesis-guided biopsy.
• Ergonomic design for patient comfort and ease of operation.

In addition, the Selenia Dimensions system's Genius™ 3D Mammography™ exam offers the only breast tomosynthesis technology with the following advantages over 2D mammography, proving that not all tomo is the same:

• Proven to detect 20%-65% more invasive breast cancers compared to 2D alone, an average increase of 41%.¹
• Proven to reduce callbacks by up to 40% compared to 2D alone.^2-3
• FDA approved as superior for women with dense breasts compared to 2D alone.^2,4

Fast, low dose and clinically superior, compared to 2D. 3D Mammography™ exams: Powered by C-View™ software.

Hologic has further advanced breast cancer screening by producing 2D images from breast tomosynthesis data using C-View software, resulting in a Low Dose Genius™ 3D Mammography™ exam with superior clinical performance compared with 2D alone.⁴ 

This Low Dose Genius™ 3D Mammography™ exam is performed in a rapid 3.7-second scan time for greater patient comfort and low patient dose, due to the elimination of 2D X-ray exposures. The synthetic 2D images and 3D™ slices are reviewed together to make clinical decisions or diagnoses part of the Genius™ 3D Mammography™ screening exam.

Features

Streamlining workflow, the Selenia Dimensions system performs the imaging of tomorrow, today. All configurations offer the following features.

High-resolution display:

• Images that can be instantly viewed on a 2MP or 3MP DICOM-calibrated display, providing exceptionally fine detail.
• Allows prior breast imaging studies to be recalled, making it possible to view new and prior images side-by-side.

Optimized face shield:

• Retractable to help when positioning patients.
• Stationary during 3D™ imaging, allowing patients to be positioned as they are for 2D imaging.

FAST Paddle™ system:

• Conforms to natural contours of the breast, providing greater comfort to the patient and more even compression across the entire breast.
• All paddles used for 2D and 3D™ imaging.

Streamlined tube head:

• Streamlined tube head and ample source-to-image distance (SID) of 70 cm, making positioning easier and providing more space for interventional procedures.

Multiple procedure modes:

• 2D mammography
• Genius™ 3D Mammography™ exam
• Low Dose Genius™ 3D Mammography™ exam
• 3D Mammography™ only
• 2D or 3D™ biopsy with the Affirm^® breast biopsy guidance system
• I-View™ software for contrast enhanced 2D imaging

Each system is capable of interventional procedures using the Affirm breast biopsy guidance system. The system offers both stereotactic and 3D™ biopsy procedure options.*

*Additional purchase may be required.

**Better detection and clinical superiority claims are in comparison to 2D mammography alone.

The Genius™ 3D Mammography™ exam (a.k.a. Genius™ exam) is acquired on the Hologic® 3D Mammography™ system and consists of a 2D and 3D™ image set, where the 2D image can be either an acquired 2D image or a 2D image generated from the 3D™ image set. 
The Genius™ exam is only available on the Hologic® 3D Mammography™ System. Please consult your physician for a full list of benefits and risks associated with mammography.
