An industry first, patient-assisted compression device, giving patients a sense of control during their mammograms.
Under the radiographer's supervision and guidance, women can play an active role in determining their level of breast compression, with the help of a remote control.
4 out of 5 patients using Pristina Dueta said it made the exam more comfortable and more than half said the device led to less anxiety.1
Now compression is one less reason to avoid a mammogram
GE's Senographe Pristina with Dueta takes the stress and worry out of the screening process and allows women to gain a sense of control. Choose the mammography system 83% of patients say was a better experience.1
"Increasing comfort during the exam and giving patients the option of working with the technologist to set their own compression will increase compliance, enable early breast cancer detection and improve outcomes."
