Direct digital

Full Field Digital Direct Mammography (FFDM) systems represent an important evolution in diagnostic imaging.

Characteristics of Direct Digital Systems

  1. Digital Imaging: They use a digital detector to capture images, eliminating the need for X-ray films.
  2. Image Quality: They provide excellent resolution and contrast, improving the visibility of small lesions.
  3. Immediate Processing: Images are displayed instantly, allowing radiologists and technicians to quickly assess image quality.
  4. Dose Reduction: Often allow high-quality images to be obtained at lower radiation doses than conventional systems.

Advantages of Direct Digital Systems

  • Ease of Archiving: Digital images can be easily archived, shared and retrieved, improving workflow efficiency.
  • Post-Processing: They offer advanced post-processing features, such as contrast adjustment and multi-plane visualization, for better diagnosis.
  • Integration: They can be integrated with radiology information management systems (PACS), improving patient data management.
