SenoBright is an exciting innovation from GE Healthcare to help doctors in the diagnosis of breast diseases. Two images are provided in the same orientation for each of the standard CC and MLO views. The first image exposure uses standard mammography parameters, while the second image shows contrast-enhanced areas with the background tissue signal suppressed.
Thanks to the combination of two types of images, generated by the system, one obtained at low-energy spectrum and one at high-energy spectrum, the radiologist has one clear final image where signal from the normal tissue is removed and where contrast appears very distinctly.
SenoBright could be interesting alternative when additional tests are required to clarify an equivocal lesion, being a very fast imaging technique with immediate availability in the mammography suite without the waiting often associated with scheduling other types of tests and waiting for the results.
