No longer do you need to leave the mammography suite to biopsy lesions identified with contrast. The ability to biopsy with contrast allows you to confidently locate the target and biopsy with certainty.

See and biopsy what matters.

With Serena Bright You Can:

Clearly target lesions identified with contrast. Leverage the Pristina™ Serena ease of use with no additional hardware added. Easy scheduling and familiar setting for your patient vs MRI-guided biopsy.

Why CESM-biopsy, why not MRI-biopsy?

  • See the lesion in CESM and sample with certainty with the same image guidance.
  • MRI diagnostic and biopsy is 51% more costly than CESM diagnostic and biopsy 1 .
  • CESM biopsy can be done within 15 minutes; 2
    MRI biopsy can take between 60-90 minutes. 3
  • Two out of three patients prefer CESM to MRI. 4
  • Familiar setting and familiar staff helping to relieve some of the stress of a biopsy procedure.
