Two months after Royal Philips Electronics' acquisition of Sectra's mammography business, Philips Healthcare has formally introduced MicroDose Mammography, a full-field digital mammography (FFDM) system, into its product portfolio in North America.
MicroDose has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and features x-ray photon-counting technology designed to emit less radiation and produce enhanced image quality in less than five minutes.
