C-View™ Synthesised 2D Imaging
Obtain high quality images while minimising patient radiation and discomfort.
Low-Dose, Highly Accurate Exams
Raise your breast cancer screening performance1-4 with C-View software and instantly generated synthesised 2D images. It not only enhances details and speeds up the analysis, but also reduces radiation dose levels for your patients. C-View 2D images are clinically proven3,5 and FDA approved to diagnostically replace the FFDM images within a tomosynthesis screening exam.
C-View 2D imaging is a purchasable option available on both Selenia® Dimensions® and 3Dimensions™ systems. It is compatible with standard resolution 3D imaging only. It is not compatible with high-resolution 3D imaging.
See More, Do More
Architectural distortions, mass lesions, and bright spots commonly found in microcalcifications are more visible in the C-View 2D image than on the traditional FFDM 2D images or tomo slices.4,6-9
Superior Performance
Delivers superior clinical performance vs 2D mammography alone for all breast types.4
Reduced Risk
Reduce the risk of retakes5,7 with ultra-fast 3.7-second scans.*10,11
Greater Accuracy
Greater accuracy at a lower dose.**7
Unlock the Advantage of Time
The Breast Health Continuum of Care offers integrated solutions for clinical confidence, workflow efficiency and compassionate patient care. It gives more women, more time in better health.
C-View Synthesised 2D Imaging is part of the Hologic Screening and Diagnosis Solution.
The Proof is in the Details
C-View 2D images are clinically proven3,5 and FDA approved to diagnostically replace the FFDM images within a tomosynthesis screening exam. The images are also a navigational aid to the tomosynthesis slice review. Published studies show that the low dose 3D Mammography exam finds invasive cancer earlier, while also reducing false positive recall rates compared to 2D alone.4,5,7
