3Whether we are captivated by internationalbreast cancer statistics or touched by thepersonal experiences of our own patients, itis clear that breast care challenges are diverseand numerous.

Your breast care systems must enable you tohandle your patients' needs with confidence,speed and efficiency from screening anddiagnosis through therapy. MAMMOMAT

3000 Nova, an anchor system in Siemensspectrum of breast care solutions, expandsthe MAMMOMAT legacy by offering

screening, diagnostic work-up, andstereotactic biopsy capabilities in a singleunit.

MAMMOMAT 3000 Nova is a high perfor-mance, reliable mammography system. It ispatient- and user-friendly, and yields thehighest quality images. If your goal is toaccurately diagnose breast disease in itsearliest, most treatable stages, then youcouldn't have a better partner than Siemens -- or a more versatile mammography systemthan MAMMOMAT 3000 Nova.

4MAMMOMAT 3000 Nova offers themost versatile technology for breastimaging and biopsy guidance. Itsopen design, integrated features, andwork-horse reliability ensure thehighest performance.

Because it is a screening unit, diagnosticwork-up system and stereotactic biopsyunit all in one, MAMMOMAT 3000Nova maximizes system utilizationpotential, return on investment andspace savings. Imagine the efficiencyof using one system for:

Screening

Special Views

Magnification

Stereotactic biopsy, fine needle and core

Needle localization

Specimen radiography

Stereotactic biopsy can be performedwith the patient in a comfortablesitting or recumbent position. Thesystem accommodates biopsybetween +120 and 165, in steps of15.

With the functions of a dedicated biopsy system and the versatility tohandle all mammography procedures,MAMMOMAT 3000 Nova is aninvestment which pays for itself, overand over again.

5Siemens engineers added newdesign elements, softer linesand a fresh look for MAMMOMAT3000 Nova, while preservingthe highly-appreciated featuresand options of our provenM3000.

Superior AccessibilityThe slim tube-head design andnarrow base allows easy, properpositioning of patients, includingthose in wheelchairs. Excellentergonomic conditions are pre-served for both operator andpatient, even during biopsy procedures.

IsocentricityMotorized isocentric movementoffers precision and time-savingswhen positioning patients.Because the swivel arm movesisocentrically, the object tableremains at the proper heightbetween projections. Change

between angle settings everyangle from cc to the inverted180 without readjusting theheight.

Pivoting BuckysThe unique dual Bucky designenables quick and easyswitching between 18x24 and24x30 cm formats. When theobject table is changed, the appropriate collimation automa-tically pre-selects. Additionally,either object table can bemanually replaced with the stereotactic device or magni-fication table.

Generous gantry free-spaceThe 65-cm gantry opening (SID)allows easy patient positioningand accommodates popularbiopsy devices. For example,the minimally-invasive vacuum-assisted Mammotome corebiopsy system can be mounted

in the vertical position in the stereotactic device in linewith the direction of compressionfor the shortest distance andgreatest accuracy in reachingthe lesion.

Ergonomic design and handling patient-friendly and user-friendly

6Advanced features in an advanced system

Women used to complainabout uncomfortable traditionalmammography. Now there isOpcomp optimized compression. This exclusiveSiemens feature, standard on

MAMMOMAT 3000 Nova, senses breast thickness andcompressibility. It compressesas long as the breast is soft andpliable, then stops preciselywhen image quality is maximized.

Opcomp spares your patient unnecessary discomfort, andensures consistent and repro-ducible compression technique.

Opdose Optimized doseMo/Mo, Mo/Rh, W/Rh

Siemens invented the dual-trackX-ray tube, with Molybdenumand Tungsten anode materialsin 1994, and it has gainedpopularity with every installation.The Opdose system auto-selects the best anode/filtercombination (Mo/Mo, Mo/Rh,W/Rh), and the lowest dose,according to individual breastcharacteristics. This is particularlyimportant for younger womenwhose breasts normally havehigher density and often requirehigher dose. By selecting W/Rhin appropriate cases, Opdosecan save up to 60% dose over acomparable Mo/Mo exposure.

Opcomp is easy tooperate - when theoptimal value isreached, the green in-dicator light on thefloor display is activa-ted, and the systemis ready for exposure.
