The Selenia Dimensions system is the ideal choice for hospitals that want a premium full-field digital mammography system that meets their mammography requirements today, with the flexibility to transition seamlessly to 3D breast tomosynthesis tomorrow.

· Health care providers can store & share image files electronically, making long-distance consultations between radiologists and breast surgeons easier.
- · Higher cancer detection rate versus conventional film technology.
- · Fewer follow-up procedures may be needed.
- · Lower dose exposure to radiation.
