Mammography Systems in Ethiopia
Available Mammography Systems Models

A Mammography System is a specialized X-ray imaging device designed for the examination of breast tissue. Its primary function is to produce detailed images of the internal structures of the breast, allowing for the early detection and diagnosis of breast abnormalities, particularly breast cancer. These systems utilize low-dose X-rays and advanced imaging technologies to capture high-resolution images, often referred to as mammograms. The ability to differentiate between normal, benign, and malignant tissues is crucial for effective screening and diagnostic procedures.

The demand for advanced mammography systems in Ethiopia is driven by a critical need to enhance diagnostic capabilities and improve breast cancer detection rates across various healthcare settings. Early and accurate diagnosis is paramount in improving patient outcomes and reducing mortality. Therefore, these sophisticated imaging solutions are essential for institutions actively engaged in women's health screening and diagnostic services.

Our mammography systems are designed to meet the diverse requirements of Ethiopia's evolving healthcare landscape, from large tertiary care centers to specialized diagnostic clinics.

The cost of a mammography system in Ethiopia can vary significantly based on several factors, including the technology employed (e.g., digital vs. analog, 2D vs. 3D tomosynthesis), brand reputation, specific features, and whether it's a new or refurbished unit. Prospective buyers can expect a broad price range in Ethiopian Birr (ETB). For a basic, reliable analog system, prices might start from around 2,000,000 ETB. More advanced digital mammography systems, offering higher resolution and improved workflow, will typically range from 4,000,000 ETB to 15,000,000 ETB or even higher for top-of-the-line 3D tomosynthesis units with advanced image processing capabilities. The inclusion of installation, training, and ongoing service contracts will also influence the final price. It is crucial for healthcare facilities to obtain detailed quotes from multiple reputable suppliers to ensure they are investing in a system that meets their clinical needs and budget effectively.
