MELODY is a new mammography device that combines high image quality and improved ergonomics for the user.

Everyone knows the importance of mammography as a key method of diagnosis in breast cancer screening protocols. In this regard, Villa Sistemi Medicali is proud to present Melody III, a new mammography device that combines high image quality and improved ergonomics for the user. Due to the use of advanced technologies, the accuracy of exposure always gives an accurate result, but special attention is always paid to reducing the radiation dose to the patient. Integrated quality control and self-calibration procedures fine-tune system parameters to ensure maximum reliability and repeatability of diagnostic results.

The biopsy-ready version is equipped with an isocentric C-arch rotation that allows you to switch from cranio-caudal to lateral examination without having to readjust the vertical position of the device: this is an excellent time saver for high-flow departments. This particular version is compatible with the BYM 3D stereotactic biopsy system, which allows high-precision three-dimensional localization of the lesion. Support for positioning the biopsy system is compatible with most biopsy needles and guns.

Melody III D TS is equipped with an automatic collimator, specially designed for tomosynthesis, able to apply trapezoidal correction of the diagnostic field and compensation of area distortion depending on the rotation of the X-ray tube.

Tomosynthesis in this context, as an enhancement of the standard diagnostic procedure, offers more accurate detection of tumors and formations, which is fundamental in the case of patients with dense breast tissue.

• In 2D mode (standard mammogram), two anatomical structures overlap and are indistinct.
  
• However, this issue is easily resolved. they can be recognized as separate objects thanks to the 3D mode (tomosynthesis function), which consists of obtaining a series of 2D images at different angles.

Benefits:

• Exposure accuracy
• Reduced dose of the patient
• Fine-tuning of parameters thanks to integrated quality control and self-calibration procedures
• Ready for biopsy
• Save time by isocentrically rotating the C-arc without having to readjust the vertical position of the device
• Improved compression system
• Innovative technologies of amorphous selenium
• CAD software for automatic identification of suspicious structures and lesions of the breast
