Standard compression plate with 70 mm high front edge.

Flexible compression plate with high edge 18 cm x 24 cm # 44 94 394

This flexible compression plate flexes in two directions:

– chest wall to nipple side for CC views
– axillary-inframammary fold side for lateral views
The self-adjusting tilt depends on the thickness and shape of the breast, and
provides a more uniform compression over the entire breast surface.
The plate can be used for all standard views.

Accessories

Accessories (optional)

Stereotactic biopsy device # 44 94 709

The stereotactic biopsy device is mounted on the base plate of the

MAMMOMAT 3000 Nova.
Special two-angle views are taken on the same film and processed in the
evaluation unit.
The coordinates are defined and sent to the biopsy unit where the needles
are inserted. The accuracy is ± 1 mm.
The biopsy attachment is used together with a special compression plate and
external collimator. The stereotactic attachment can be used with fine needles,
core needles and with the Mammotome system from Ethicon.
Different needle holders are required depending on the needle size.
Only for MAMMOMAT 3000 Nova.

14
 Accessories (optional)

Perforated biopsy compression plate # 44 94 493

A special plate for biopsy and localization. The plate has several perforations
and a coordinate system. The patient remains in compression while the phy-
sician determines where the lesion is located. The needle is then inserted into
the breast. The position of the lesion can only be defined in the x and y direc-
tion. The depth must be checked with perpendicular views.

Biopsy device / Shadow cross # 44 94 485

The shadow cross attachment is mounted on the tube unit and used with an
external collimator and a fenestrated coordinate plate. The patient remains in
compression while the physician determines where the lesion is located.
The cross is set over the coordinates and the needle is inserted at the center of
the cross. Only X and Y coordinates are defined, but with the use of the cross
the accuracy is higher than with the perforated biopsy compression plate.

equivalent lead glass.

0.3 mm Lead equivalent radiation shield # 44 94 352

Free-standing radiation shield consisting of a frame and 0.3 mm lead

equivalent lead glass.
