New Addition to the Senographe Family
The new Senographe Essential is the latest addition to the GE Healthcare Senographe family of products. Introduced in early 2004, the Senographe DS was the first and only full-field digital mammography system designed to meet all the clinical needs from screening, diagnostic to interventional procedures, using the same detector to optimize image quality and workflow

The Senographe product line and Seno Advantage© multi-modality breast imaging workstation are cornerstones of GE's breast imaging offerings, a complete imaging and information management solution to help healthcare professionals detect breast cancer earlier and treat it more effectively. The system has a patient-centric design and intuitive controls that allow the technologist who performs the exam to focus on her patient and makes the mammography exam an easier and more comfortable experience. The new Essential system builds on this platform of excellence.
GE Healthcare is the only manufacturer in the industry today that provides the entire mammography imaging chain from tube, detector to review workstation - and integrates comprehensive customer needs into our roadmap for the future.

The benefits of GE's Senographe systems include:

* Better visibility of the breast, particularly near the skin line, the chest wall and in women with dense breast tissue
* Exams can take less than half the time, with the incredibly fast signal readout of GE's advanced detector design, with the ability to quickly generate images and the optimized, highly automated digital workflow
* Fewer call backs for patients. The flexibility to magnify and manipulate digital images can provide more clinically relevant information and therefore can eliminate some call backs that are necessary with traditional film-based mammography systems
* The advancement of telemedicine, allowing breast images to be sent anywhere in the world electronically and be reviewed on a computer; and,
* Electronic archival of patient images means easier retrieval and transmission of patient information to healthcare providers.
