New MAMMOMAT(R) Novation S Introduces Innovations to Accelerate
Workflow CHICAGO, Nov. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Siemens Medical
Solutions (http://www.usa.siemens.com/medical) introduces the
MAMMOMAT(R) Novation S, a new digital mammography system designed
to optimize clinical workflow for screenings, at the 93rd
Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society
of North America (RSNA) from Nov. 25 to 30 at McCormick Place

introduction of the MAMMOMAT Novation S, Siemens provides a cost-
effective solution for facilities that are making the transition to
digital breast imaging but do not have the need for advanced
diagnostic functionality. The system is suited to large facilities
that operate screening-only satellite centers, as well as those
that perform both screening and diagnostic examinations, but for
whom investing in only diagnostic systems is cost- prohibitive
because of the volume of screening exams performed. "The MAMMOMAT
Novation S provides a digital mammography solution that is designed
to address the needs of patients, clinicians and administrators
alike," said Anders Steiner, vice president, Special Systems
Division, Siemens Medical Solutions. "Now healthcare facilities
have the option of a system that fits their clinical and business
needs, providing intuitive, streamlined workflow and enabling
exceptional throughput to help maximize their investments." The
MAMMOMAT Novation S utilizes the latest full-field amorphous
Selenium (aSe) detectors, which convert X-ray energy into an
electric charge to help detect small and low-contrast objects,
yielding excellent image quality. To achieve optimum dose, the
MAMMOMAT Novation S utilizes the same technology as the MAMMOMAT
NovationDR - OpComp and OpDose. The Acquisition Workstation (AWS)
comes standard with the MAMMOMAT Novation S Siemens, which may also
be used with the syngo(R) MammoReport breast care workplace.
Combined with these dedicated workstations and a common user
interface that intuitively drives workflow, the MAMMOMAT Novation S
provides a comprehensive solution for optimized mammography
screening processes. Through DICOM compatibility, patient data are
readily stored in existing digital clinical archives of virtually
any scale and may be printed as needed. About Siemens Medical
