Even with high-tech technology and skilled, qualified radiologists, early and reliable diagnosis of breast cancer remains challenging. Conventional diagnosis methods, whilst well-established, are not always reliable. 3D imaging with high isotropic resolution now offers clear advantages.
nu:view is the world’s first breast CT scanner to use spiral CT technology, and following the granting of CE certification, the University Hospital Zurich has started to use this state-of-the-art technology to benefit its patients.
What sets nu:view apart is the very high image resolution coupled with low radiation doses and short scan times. Unlike conventional scintillation, nu:view uses detectors made of cadmium telluride (CdTe) to transform every x-ray photon directly into an electric pulse.
First images deliver impressive results
In a single rotation around the female breast, 2,000 projection images are created, with a full scan taking as little as seven to 12 seconds – at very low radiation levels and without breast compression, ensuring excellent patient comfort.
For the first time we have a CT scanner that makes it possible to acquire an image of the entire female breast in a single scan in true 3D, imaging both the soft tissue and the calcifications.
