GE Senoclaire

SenoClaire from GE
• Breast tomosynthesis is a three-dimensional imaging technology
that uses a short scan of low-dose X-rays around the compressed breast
with only nine exposures.
• SenoClaire offers superior sensitivity for architectural distortions and masses,
giving you more clinical confidence while delivering the same amount
of dose as a digital mammographic acquisition of the same view.
• The SenoClaire detector delivers high DQE at low doses
for viewing microcalcifications without binning, a process that groups pixels
for faster readout speeds and improved signal-to-noise ratios,
but with reduced image quality.
• The movement of the tube step by step preserves the sharpness
of the microcalcification and avoids blurred image, since the tube
makes a complete stop for each of the nine exposures.
This provides higher peak contrast for microcalcifications
than continuous tube movement.
• An anti-scattering solution designed for tomosynthesis,
the SenoClaire 3D grid reduces scattered radiation and improves 3D detectability
for breasts of greater than average thickness, while preserving dose and performance.
• SenoClaire uses ASiRDBT , an iterative reconstruction algorithm
that produces results like FFDM images and has a positive impact on the visibility
of microcalcification compared to the traditional Filtered Back Projection (FBP) algorithm.
