DESCRIPTION

Aspire HD is the world's first digital mammography system to be equipped with Fujifilm's next generation direct-to-digital detector technology. The state-of-the-art direct-conversion flat-panel detector is comprised of a dual layer of a-Se and employs Direct Optical Switching technology instead of thin film transistors (TFTs) to directly capture the image signal more efficiently and with less noise. As a result, Direct Optical Switching combined with a pixel resolution size of 50µm achieves higher DQE compared to conventional design flat panels and CR or analog systems,.        With the high X-ray absorption properties of amorphous selenium, the first layer efficiently captures X-rays and converts them to electrical charges, while the second layer stimulates the Direct Optical Switching Technology to capture image data at high-resolution and with low-noise.        By delivering both 50µm fine pixel size among the highest resolutions for mammographic flat panel detectors) and with low noise, the Aspire HD system provides superb image quality that can enhance visualization of breast tissue and provide greater detail of abnormalities.
