The main system level software for the Atlas system. The Atlas system generates digital mammographic images that can be used for screening and diagnosis of breast cancer. The Atlas (2D or 3D™) system is intended for use in the same clinical applications as a 2D mammography system for screening mammograms. Specifically, the Atlas system can be used to generate 2D digital mammograms and 3D™ mammograms. Each screening examination may consist of: • A 2D FFDM image set, or • A 2D and 3D™ image set, where the 2D image can be either a FFDM or a 2D image generated from the 3D™ image set The Atlas system may also be used for additional diagnostic workup of the breast.
A stationary assembly of devices designed to generate x-ray images of the breast using digital techniques for image capture and display. It is designed specifically to compress the breast during imaging and is intended to visually evaluate the anatomy and function of blood and lymphatic vessels within the breast. Often referred to as a digital mammography system (DMS) it is typically used for breast cancer screening or during biopsy procedures (e.g., placement of biopsy markers, stereotactic biopsy). It is designed to capture two-dimensional (2-D) x-ray images, however may include software intended to process multiple images to create a three-dimensional (3-D) image/model (tomosynthesis).
