Siemens Healthineers unveiled the new Mammomat Revelation premium mammography platform at the 2017 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Annual Meeting, Nov. 26-Dec. 1 in Chicago. Mammomat Revelation enables healthcare providers to expand precision medicine, improve clinical outcomes and increase patient satisfaction, according to the company. The system’s HD Breast Biopsy solution enables one-click targeting of suspicious areas with a +/- 1mm accuracy. The new integrated specimen imaging tool facilitates immediate control of the biopsy directly at the mammography system. Clinical workflow is improved by eliminating the need for a second imaging system and by reducing patient compression time. Mammomat Revelation also provides automated breast density measurements at the point of care. Additionally, it expands existing diagnostic options and provides patient access to functional breast imaging with contrast-enhanced mammography.

Dutch researchers demonstrated a strong relationship between compression pressure in mammography and breast cancer screening performance. Involving more than 130,000 mammograms from the Dutch Breast Screening Program and Volpara software, the study showed that very high pressure is linked with reduced sensitivity and very low pressure translates to low specificity.
