3D Breast Ultrasound Solutions from Siemens Healthineers

New legislation mandates nationwide breast density notification

Federal law now requires mammography facilities to include breast density information in reports sent to patients and their physicians. The mandate was included in federal funding legislation signed into law on Feb 15, 2019. The FDA is currently developing standard reporting language. Learn More >

Addressing breast density challenges

Nearly half of women worldwide have heterogeneously or extremely radiographically dense breast tissue.

Siemens Healthineers understands the challenge this presents for healthcare professionals and patients. Our 3D Total Breast Ultrasound solution helps providers address this crucial issue in women's health with multiple advantages for breast diagnosis.

Why does breast density matter?

Women with very dense breasts are four to five times more likely to develop breast cancer than women with low breast density. Plus, dense breast tissue makes it more challenging for physicians to identify cancer on mammograms.

Benefits of Siemens Healthineers ACUSON S2000 ABVS technology

ACUSON S2000 ABVS provides reproducible results with full-field high-resolution views of the entire breast without exposing the patient to radiation.

Generate a coronal view of the breast, which demonstrates global anatomy and symmetry as well as exquisite architectural distortion.
Improve ergonomics and decrease operator strain with the Siemens Healthineers-exclusive hands-free locking mechanism of the ACUSON S2000 ABVS transducer pod.
Improve efficiency by decreasing exam time and increasing consistency, thanks to 33% fewer tactile keys and a simplified home-base control panel that also optimizes exam workflows.*

Handheld Transducer Capability

The ACUSON S2000 ABVS can be used for both automated breast volume and conventional handheld exams. If a lesion is found, a handheld transducer can be used to acquire additional 2D images, including Color Doppler, Elasticity and Shear Wave Imaging.

Instantly perform additional, handheld imaging and procedures--which enhances exam and departmental workflow and improves patient throughput and satisfaction.
Easily detach the ultrasound system from the column for use in other departments across a broad spectrum of clinical applications.

Breast Density Notification Laws: Quick Tips to Educate Providers and Patients
Imaging teams play an important role in educating patients about breast density. Radiology department leaders, mammographers, sonographers and radiologists must work with the provider community to facilitate breast density communication. Read more.

Tips to Get Comfortable Discussing Breast Density with Your Patients
In the first national survey on the subject, 95% of women over 40 didn’t know their own breast density, and nearly 90% didn’t know that dense tissue increases the risk of breast cancer. How do these misunderstandings affect your practice? Read more.

Do Your Patients Know Their Breast Density?

In this Trend Report, we answer common questions your patients may be asking (plus some most never even thought to ask!) about dense breasts. This is a great resource to give your patients to help them understand why dense breasts develop and what it means for their health. Read more.
