First order in Cyprus for Sectra MicroDose Mammography

First order in Cyprus for Sectra MicroDose Mammography

The women in Cyprus will soon be benefiting from low-dose mammography. The
Aevresis Diagnostic Center in Nicosia, Cyprus, has chosen to digitize their
mammography operations with a solution from the IT and medical-technology
company Sectra. The system was sold by Proton S.A, Sectra's new distribution
partner for Greece and Cyprus.

With Sectra's mammography system, Sectra MicroDose Mammography, Aevresis
Diagnostic Center will be able to offer women mammography examinations with the
lowest possible radiation dose. 

“This will be the first low-dose mammography solution in Cyprus. Through
digitization, we take advantage of increased throughput capacity and low dose,
making our mammography screening operation efficient and at the same time safe
for women,” says Dr Artemisia Fantousi, radiologist at Aevresis Diagnostic
Center. “Based on the performance and overall cost effectiveness, Sectra's
solution was the best choice for us.”

The complete digital solution from Sectra is optimized for screening with less
than 50 percent of the dose level of other manufacturers systems - and without
any compromise on image quality.
