Chennai, Nov 12:
VS Hospitals has unveiled an advanced 2D digital mammography system that integrates high-resolution imaging with low-dose radiation technology to improve early breast cancer screening and diagnostic precision.
The Fujifilm AMULET SOPHINITY system features a high-resolution detector with a 50-micron pixel size, enabling radiologists to inspect intricate breast structures and detect minute micro-calcifications that may signal early-stage abnormalities. Designed for patient comfort, the equipment incorporates ergonomic positioning support, AI-assisted alignment, intelligent breast compression, automatic decompression, and automated X-ray exposure adjustments based on breast density, completing standard scans in roughly five seconds and high-resolution scans in 12 seconds.
Launching the facility, Prof. Dr. S. Subramanian, Chairman and Managing Director, VS Hospitals, said: “Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women. Early detection plays a crucial role in improving treatment outcomes, and mammography is an important screening tool for identifying breast abnormalities at an early stage.” The hospital also announced free mammogram screenings for underprivileged women throughout November 2026.
