Swedish PACS and digital mammography vendor Sectra of Linköping has won a contract with a Turkish imaging center for its MicroDose Mammography full-field digital mammography (FFDM) package.
Ankara, Turkey-based Medlab has digitized its mammography operations using MicroDose Mammography. Medlab will be the first service in Turkey to offer women mammography examinations with half the radiation dose compared to other alternatives, according to Sectra.
MicroDose Mammography is based on Sectra's photon-counting technology, the company said. It has already been installed at hospitals and clinics in 17 European countries as well as in Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. The device is pending U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval.

![A normal mammogram confirmed by three-year radiologic follow-up illustrates reader-marked regions of interest (ROIs) during (A) unaided (round 1) and (B) artificial intelligence (AI)–assisted (round 2) reading. Each colored dot represents an ROI for recall by a human reader. Readers could mark more than one ROI per case, represented by multiple dots of the same color. During AI-assisted reading, the AI system displayed three visible prompts: two with suspicion of malignancy scores of 35% (left mediolateral oblique [L MLO] and craniocaudal [L CC]) and one with a suspicion of malignancy score of 10% (right craniocaudal [R CC]), shown as polygonal overlays. Without AI, six of 10 readers (60%) marked a false-positive ROI. With AI assistance, this fell to two of 10 (20%). R MLO = right mediolateral oblique.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/07/2026-07-14-radiology-mammogram-ai-auto-bias.H0bYO8QlWs.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&fit=crop&h=100&q=70&w=100)
