Affirm Breast Biopsy Guidance System
At Decatur Morgan Hospital, we’re passionate about advancing breast health.
That passion is what led us to invest in the Affirm® breast biopsy guidance system—a powerful, innovative tool designed to enhance accuracy and comfort during breast biopsies.
As an add-on to our Hologic 3D Mammography™ system, the Affirm technology allows our care team to quickly perform 2D or 3D™ breast biopsies using the same equipment as routine mammograms. With the addition of the lateral arm upright biopsy accessory, we’re able to access even the most challenging lesion locations—offering greater flexibility, precision, and peace of mind.
Because when it comes to your health, precision matters.
Superior Imaging
Pinpoint subtle lesions and faint calcifications – including those that may only be visible with tomosynthesis, with the 3D™ biopsy option.
-
Key advantages:
- Allows you to easily target lesions, including those visible only in tomosynthesis images.
- Streamlines procedure steps and speeds targeting, resulting in improved workflow and shorter patient procedure time.
- Reduces patient’s dose, as fewer exposures are required.
