Siemens Nova 3000

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.

Generator

• High-voltage wave form: Exposure voltage:?mAs range:  Multipulse
• Exposure times: 23kV to 35kV, adjustable in increments of 1kV
• mAs range: Mo X-ray tube: 2mAs to 560 mAs (mAs-mode) up to 600mAs (AEC-mode)?Mo/W X-ray tube: 2mAs to 710 mAs (mAs-mode) up to 752 mAs (AEC-mode)
