Mammography Systems in Senegal
Available Mammography Systems Models

A mammography system is a specialized X-ray imaging device designed specifically for examining breast tissue. It utilizes low-dose X-rays to produce detailed images, known as mammograms, of the internal structures of the breast. This technology is crucial for both screening and diagnostic purposes, allowing healthcare professionals to detect subtle abnormalities that might not be palpable during a physical examination.

The primary function of a mammography system is to generate high-resolution images of the breast, enabling the identification of calcifications, masses, and architectural distortions that can be early indicators of breast cancer. The system works by compressing the breast tissue between two plates, spreading it out to minimize overlapping structures and reduce the radiation dose required for optimal image clarity. Digital mammography systems, which are now standard in Senegal, offer enhanced image quality, faster acquisition times, and advanced post-processing capabilities, including magnification and contrast enhancement, to aid in accurate diagnosis.

Mammography systems are crucial diagnostic tools for a variety of healthcare facilities across Senegal, playing a vital role in early breast cancer detection. While their primary function is consistent, the specific needs and applications can vary depending on the facility type and the departments it houses.

Ensuring the optimal performance and longevity of your new mammography system in Senegal begins with a meticulous installation process. We partner with you to ensure a seamless transition from delivery to fully operational status, adhering to the highest industry standards and local regulations. Our experienced technical team manages every stage, from initial site assessment to final calibration, minimizing disruption to your clinical workflow.

Site Preparation

Before your mammography system arrives, thorough site preparation is crucial. This involves:

• Room Assessment: Evaluating the designated installation space for adequate dimensions, access points for equipment, and potential structural requirements.

• Environmental Controls: Ensuring the room meets specific temperature, humidity, and ventilation requirements to protect sensitive electronic components.

• Power and Electrical Supply: Verifying that the electrical infrastructure can support the system's power demands, including dedicated circuits and appropriate grounding.

• Radiation Shielding: Confirming that the installation site adheres to local radiation safety guidelines, including any necessary structural modifications for shielding.

• Network Connectivity: Establishing reliable network access for PACS integration and remote support.

Delivery And Unpacking

Our logistics team manages the secure and timely delivery of your mammography system to your facility in Senegal. Upon arrival, our technicians will carefully unpack the equipment, conducting an initial visual inspection to ensure no transit damage has occurred.

Installation Steps

The installation is a multi-step process executed by our certified engineers:

• System Assembly: Precision assembly of all components according to manufacturer specifications.

• Component Integration: Connecting all subsystems, including the X-ray generator, detector, gantry, and operator console.

• Software Installation and Configuration: Installing and configuring the system's operating software, user interfaces, and any necessary third-party applications.

• Initial System Testing: Performing preliminary checks to verify basic functionality of all hardware and software elements.

• Integration with Existing Infrastructure: Connecting the mammography system to your hospital's PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) and RIS (Radiology Information System), as well as any other relevant IT infrastructure.

Calibration And Quality Assurance

Rigorous calibration and quality assurance are paramount to achieving diagnostic accuracy and patient safety:

• X-ray Performance Calibration: Fine-tuning the X-ray generator and detector to ensure precise dose delivery and image quality.

• Image Quality Testing: Utilizing specialized phantoms and test objects to assess spatial resolution, contrast, and signal-to-noise ratio, ensuring compliance with international standards.

• Workflow and Functionality Testing: Comprehensive testing of all operational modes, patient positioning features, and image acquisition protocols.

• Radiation Safety Checks: Verifying all radiation safety interlocks and output levels are within regulatory limits.

• User Training: Providing comprehensive hands-on training for your radiology staff on system operation, basic troubleshooting, and quality control procedures.

Upon successful completion of all installation, calibration, and training phases, we will provide you with a signed installation and commissioning report, confirming your mammography system is ready for clinical use.

The investment in a mammography system in Senegal can vary significantly based on several factors, including the technology's sophistication, brand reputation, features, and whether it's a new or refurbished unit. Generally, you can expect a broad price range, typically falling between XFCFA to YFCFA. For advanced digital mammography systems with 3D tomosynthesis capabilities, prices can reach the higher end of this spectrum and potentially exceed it.

Factors influencing the final cost include:
