American Mammographics has developed the new S.O.F.T. Paddle for Screening Mammography. S.O.F.T. Paddle is the "Special Optimized Full Tilt" compression paddle and is used as an alternative to the conventional flat compression paddle in screening mammography for superior compression of the mid- and anterior-breast with less patient discomfort.

Designed to meet the demands of modern mammography practices, the MAMMOMAT NovationDR provides digital screening, diagnosis and stereotactic biopsy capabilities all in one system.
Featuring an innovative flat-panel detector based on amorphous Selenium (aSe) technology, MAMMOMAT NovationDR enables a direct conversion of X-ray to digital information. The aSe detector technology has the potential to provide higher spatial resolution and greater clinical detail, resulting in exceptional diagnostic accuracy.

Now available in two additional sizes, 12 and 20 mm, the Intact Breast Lesion Excision System (BLES) provides physicians with more flexibility in diagnostic choice.
The Intact BLES procedure is a vacuum-assisted, image-guided procedure in which a slender probe is inserted through a small incision to remove a small lump of suspicious tissue.
Because the procedure produces a larger, intact specimen from the region of interest, it is less prone to sampling error and increases the opportunity for diagnostic accuracy compared to percutaneous core biopsy.
