Equipment detail / Mammography
Breast imaging centers, women's health programs, hospitals, and international clinics that want a current-generation NEW 3D tomosynthesis mammography system with factory warranty at a competitive price point versus Hologic and GE.
digital breast tomosynthesis (3D) mammography — NEW
Metaltronica Helianthus DBT — a current-generation NEW digital breast tomosynthesis (3D) mammography system from Metaltronica, the Italian breast-imaging manufacturer that has been building dedicated mammography hardware since 1980. Pairs an amorphous-selenium direct-capture flat-panel detector with a tungsten anode X-ray tube (rhodium/silver filtration) and full digital breast tomosynthesis acquisition on the same gantry as standard 2D FFDM, with an integrated acquisition workstation and review monitor for streamlined screening and diagnostic workflow. Sold NEW with full factory warranty rather than as a refurbished system. Typical clinical scope covers screening mammography, diagnostic mammography, and image-guided procedures (with the appropriate biopsy attachment by configuration) — the same workload as a Hologic Selenia Dimensions or GE Senographe Pristina, in a current-generation 3D tomosynthesis platform. Compared to a refurbished Hologic Selenia Dimensions, the Helianthus DBT is brand-NEW with factory warranty and current parts/service support, at a meaningfully lower acquisition cost than buying a NEW Hologic. Compared to a 2D-only system like the GE Senographe Essential, the Helianthus DBT adds full tomosynthesis 3D imaging and the workflow improvements that come with a current-generation FFDM/DBT platform. MIS sells the Helianthus DBT NEW with site planning, delivery, install, ACR/MQSA calibration, applications training, parts support, and engineer-led service. Strong fit for breast imaging programs that want NEW 3D tomosynthesis hardware on a tighter capital budget than the major-OEM list price.
