GE Senographe Essential
Family: GE Senographe · Modality: Mammography
Full-field digital mammography (FFDM) system — GE's community and hospital workhorse for about a decade. Amorphous selenium direct-conversion detector, Mo/Rh target. Predecessor to the Senographe Pristina, which added tomosynthesis and a softer-compression paddle design.
Variant-specific considerations
- FFDM-only (2D); no DBT/tomosynthesis on Essential
- 24×31 cm detector
- Mo/Rh target, standard mammo kVp range
- Large refurb market installed base; still in service at many community centers
Parts
Molybdenum/Rhodium dual-track tube, amorphous selenium detector, compression paddle assembly, gantry and C-arm.
