High performance

The main target of the Xenox S200 is to obtain excellent image quality in order to allow sharp visualisation of lesions and areas of interest minimizing the dose given to the patient. It is suitable both diagnostic as well as for "screening” programs carried out always with utmost accuracy. Excellent imaging technology combined with a modern, ergonomic and winning design improves efficiency and elevates the standard of care.

Excellent image quality and low dose

Xenox S200 feature the second generation of indirect conversion technology a-Si detector. It provides 85 micron pixel size chose as the best compromise between highest spatial resolution and lowest noise. The combination with the X-ray tube with Tungsten anode and Ag filter result is a significant decrease in the dose delivered to the patient.

Advanced Automatic Exposure Control

Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) with full automatic kV/mAs, manual kV/auto mAs in function of effective Breast Density evaluated by pre-exposure X-Ray pulse or breast thickness for fast operation and/or special cases with silicone prosthesis. Dose limits according to European Protocol for Dosimetry and EUREF protocol.

Ergonomics and user friendly

SternMed has payed particular attention in designing Xenox S200 in order to make it extremely easy to use for the operator and comfortable for the patient.

Advances dynamic collimation system

The mammography system automatically selects the proper collimation format according to the type of exam, to the format and position of the compression paddle.

MAGNIFICATION SUPPORT

A device for geometric magnification (1,5x or 2x factor) complete of cassette holder and without anti-scatter grid is optionally available. In order to reduce dose a carbon fiber free structure has been designed with automatically selected small focus once fitted.

FULLY MOTORIZED Iso-centric C-ARM

XENOX S200 is supplied with motorized rotation of C-Arm (pre-selectable and fine adjustment angles). Iso-centric C-Arm that allows all breast projections without moving the patient and without adjusting height of the-Arm. The Iso-centric rotation eliminates the-Arm height adjustment when doing Cranio-Caudal and lateral projections. In this configuration the XENOX S200 is upgradeable with stereotactic biopsy device Iso-centric 3D.

Stereotactic Biopsy

The Iso-centric 3D device represents a reliable add-on solution for performing FFD stereotactic biopsies. An easy and quick move upgrades the XENOX S200 to stereotactic mode providing a comfortable working space between the tube head and the biopsy device. The motorized +/-15° rotation of the Iso-centric C-Arm assures accurate tube shift activated by means of dedicated push buttons. Lesions can be reached also in difficult positions with great precision in targeting, placing the C-Arm at the most appropriate inclination/height. Acquisition Station and includes a database for selecting needles, biopsy guns and VABs associated with the respective user selectable codes.

Gentle AI COMPRESSION SYSTEM

The cutting-edge AI compression system, both motorized and manual, has been designed to guarantee optimal breast compression with minimal patient discomfort.

In the case of motorized compression, driven by the pair of foot-controls, the exclusive microprocessor-controlled FTSE (Function of Tissue Strength Evaluation) automatically adjusts the optimal force to apply based on the specific density of the breast to be examined. The operator can also perform a manual compression with precise adjustment using two rotary controls located on C-arm.

Everything under control

Displays located above the rotary controls allow viewing the set compression force and that actually applied, and the thickness of the compressed breast. Auxiliary display show all the information of the current procedure: Compression force, C-arm rotation angle, Compression breast thickness, Laterality, Projection, ACR prefixes and suffixes
