Hologic Selenia Dimensions
Family: Hologic Selenia · Modality: Mammography
First FDA-cleared digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) system in the US (2011 clearance). Introduced the 15° narrow-angle DBT arc that became the Hologic signature — contrast with Siemens' 50° wide-angle. Upgradable from the original 2D Selenia platform via field kit.
Variant-specific considerations
- 15° narrow-angle DBT
- Early-generation Dimensions units shipped without C-View synthesized 2D; it was added as a software license
- Upgradable to 3Dimensions with SmartCurve paddle
- DBT biopsy / Affirm stereo add-on common in integrated breast centers
Parts
