Planmed

(Booth 8324) Planmed of Roselle, IL, will introduce the work-in-progress Planmed Nuance Excel, a new full-field digital mammography (FFDM) unit, at this year's RSNA conference in Chicago.

Nuance Excel features a 24 x 30-cm amorphous selenium-based digital detector and x-ray filtration for optimal image quality with minimal dose, according to the company. It incorporates Planmed's MaxView and Side Access breast and patient positioning systems, and is compatible with Planmed's Mammography Information System (MIS).

The company will also showcase Planmed Nuance DigiGuide, a digital stereotactic biopsy system, and Nuance Acquire Station (NAS), a motorized, height-adjustable acquisition station for FFDM. Planmed's CAD images will be displayed on its Nuance Softview workstation, which features a DigiPad short-cut key panel for soft-copy reading.
