Tomosynthesis is a proven X-ray imaging technology for higher precision diagnoses. In a simple and quick workflow, and at a low exposure dose, tomosynthesis state-of-the-art imaging technology offers high quality multi-slice images to visualize the part which is invisible for conventional plain radiography. Therefore, the technology “Making the invisible visible” is now increasingly spotlighted worldwide. Tomosynthesis has been popular in mammography modality already but not yet in radiography or fluoroscopy systems. As a pioneer in developing and providing tomosynthesis for RF systems (the first in the world) with the SONIALVISION series for already more than 10 years, Shimadzu has just released the 4th generation, the new SONIALVISION G4. It covers various application features including the latest advancements in tomosynthesis. Tomosynthesis at a glance The term ”tomosynthesis” merges ‘tomography’ and ‘synthesis’. It is a special type of imaging technology that fuses cone-beam CT reconstruction with digital image processing to produce images of specified cross-sections from a single tomography. HD Tomosynthesis One of the new features available today is "High Definition Tomosynthesis". As tomosynthesis processes a huge volume of data, its original data on the X-ray detector have been acquired with 2x2 binning to reduce processing time and display the final tomosynthesis image on the monitor faster.
