Photon Counting Detector Technology
Philips photon counting technology — in use since 2003 at hundreds of sites worldwide — eases the traditional tradeoff between radiation dose and image quality. The detector delivers high X-ray photon absorption, immediate photon counting, and virtually no electronic noise today.
50 μm Industry-Leading Pixel Resolution
The 50 μm pixel size delivers industry-leading mammography resolution supporting excellent clinical performance even in dense breasts. The fine resolution supports detection of microcalcifications, subtle lesions, and detailed soft-tissue features today.
95% Scattered Radiation Elimination
The MicroDose L30 eliminates 95% of scattered radiation through the photon counting scanning technology. The scatter elimination supports superior contrast resolution and low-dose imaging across breast imaging and screening services today.
100% Pixel Warranty
The MicroDose L30 detector technology provides 100% pixel warranty by eliminating dead pixels and associated image data loss. The detector design supports consistent image quality across the field of view and reduced detector replacement cycles today.
Diagnostic Scan Feature
The Diagnostic Scan optional feature provides higher dose to a specific area improving detail visualisation in spot compression images without compromising patient safety. Combined with electronic magnification, the feature supports detail review at lower dose today.
High Throughput Screening
The MicroDose L30 supports up to 15 four-minute exams per hour, delivering high throughput for screening programmes. Curved warm breast support, ergonomic design, and automated positioning enhance patient comfort while supporting screening throughput today.
DICOM Integration and Workstation
The Philips MicroDose application controls the mammography stand and displays acquired images in real-time on the acquisition workstation. Quality Assurance functionality, local storage, and DICOM transmission support integration with hospital PACS today.
