Siemens Nova 3000

MAMMOMAT 3000 Nova offers the most versatile technology for breast imaging
and biopsy guidance. Its open design, integrated features,
and work-horse reliability ensure the highest performance.

Because it is a screening unit, diagnostic work-up system and stereotactic biopsy unit
all in one, MAMMOMAT 3000 Nova maximizes system utilization potential,
return on investment and space savings. Imagine the efficiency of
using one system for:
Screening
Special Views
Magnification
Stereotactic biopsy, fine needle and core
Needle localization
Specimen radiography ?Stereotactic biopsy can be performed with
the patient in a comfortable sitting or recumbent position.
The system accommodates biopsy between +120° and –165°,
in steps of 15°. ?With the functions of a dedicated biopsy system and
the versatility to handle all mammography procedures, MAMMOMAT 3000 Nova is
an investment which pays for it
Siemens’ engineers added new design elements, softer lines and a fresh look
for MAMMOMAT 3000 Nova, while preserving the highly-appreciated features
and options of our proven M3000.
Superior Accessibility

The slim tube-head design and narrow base allows easy, proper positioning of patients,
including those in wheelchairs. Excellent ergonomic conditions are pre- served for
both operator and patient, even during biopsy procedures.

Isocentricity
Motorized isocentric movement offers precision and time-savings when
positioning patients. Because the swivel arm moves isocentrically,
the object table remains at the proper height between projections.
Change between angle settings – every angle from cc to the inverted 180° –
without readjusting the height.

Pivoting Buckys
The unique dual Bucky design enables quick and easy switching between 18×24
and 24×30 cm formats. When the object table is changed,
the appropriate collimation automa- tically pre-selects.
Additionally, either object table can be manually replaced with
the stereotactic device or magni- fication table.

Generous gantry free-space
The 65-cm gantry opening (SID) allows easy patient positioning and
accommodates popular biopsy devices. For example,
the minimally-invasive vacuum- assisted
Mammotome core biopsy system can be mounted
in the vertical position in the stereotactic device – in line with the direction of
compression for the shortest distance and greatest accuracy in reaching the lesion.

Opdose – Optimized dose Mo/Mo, Mo/Rh, W/Rh
Siemens invented the dual-track X-ray tube, with Molybdenum and
Tungsten anode materials in 1994, and it has gained popularity with
every installation. The Opdose® system auto- selects the best anode/filter
combination (Mo/Mo, Mo/Rh, W/Rh), and the lowest dose, according to
individual breast characteristics. This is particularly important for
younger women whose breasts normally have higher density and
often require higher dose. By selecting W/Rh in appropriate cases,
Opdose can save up to 60% dose over a comparable Mo/Mo exposure.
