ASPIRE Cristalle is supported by a range of accessories designed to improve patient comfort, offer diagnostic options, ensure optimal image quality, and improve throughput.

Comfort Paddle

Patented paddle is designed to improve patient comfort during mammograms

The unique Comfort Paddle allows pressure to be more evenly and gently distributed across the breast compared to conventional, flexible paddles.

• Slotted paddle edge allows plate to flex to the contour of the breast.
• Bends from center of breast to thinner edges.
• Distributes pressure more evenly.
• Tilting paddle allows for more gradual and more even compression.
• Available in two sizes to accommodate different breast sizes: 18x24cm and 24x30cm.
• Available standard on ASPIRE Cristalle.

Slotted paddle edge distributes pressure more evenly

Fujifilm's Comfort Paddle distributes pressure that is normally concentrated on the thickest part of the breast, helping to compress evenly along the natural curve of the breast with appropriate but not excessive force.

Tilting paddle mechanism for more gradual and even compression

The Comfort Paddle allows for gradual application of pressure to the breast as compared to standard compression. The tilting of the paddle toward the nipple side allows for more even compression across the breast, helping to separate structures and maintain correct positioning.

• Tomo Biopsy option allows for targeting of suspicious areas under tomosynthesis guidance. Tomo biopsy is a simpler approach that can help reduce total procedure time.
• Review previous examinations on the acquisition workstation simply by requesting images from PACS.
• Targeting support includes a high-resolution dual-display system, selectable targeting mode (100 or 50µm), targeting guide function on stereo images and advanced image processing.
• Target position is shown on display screen, allowing technologist to make fine adjustments of the Z coordinate.
• Quickly and efficiently check needle depth directly from the biopsy device, providing peace of mind for the patient and protecting the exposure table from accidental damage.
