Hologic Selenia Digital Mammo System

The Selenia full field digital mammography system is based on
our proprietary, amorphous selenium DirectRay digital detector,
which preserves image quality by using amorphous selenium to
directly convert x-rays to electronic signals,
without first converting them to light.
This direct conversion process preserves image sharpness by
eliminating light diffusion.

The Selenia product family has a number of other features designed to
improve image quality and patient throughput. The open architecture of
the system’s design provides for full integration with existing enterprise
Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (“PACS”) and
Radiology Information Systems (“RIS”). Recent additions to
the Selenia product line include the development of the
Selenia S digital mammography system, a product specifically designed
for the screening mammography facility or mobile environment,
and a new tungsten x-ray tube option which, when used in
combination with a special silver filter, allows images to be
acquired at a lower dose without compromising the image quality.
