Pristina Serena™ 3D Biopsy - Mammography

In line with the forthcoming changes to the Breast Screening Guidelines, we are offering a 22% discount on our Serena™ 3D biopsy system.

Pristina Serena™ is the stereotactic biopsy upgrade option for the Senographe Pristina™ full field digital mammography system. Pristina Serena™ is an add-on option designed to simply slide onto the Senographe Pristina™ gantry.

This system can provide guidance to perform fine needle aspiration, core biopsy, vacuum assisted biopsy or hook wire placement procedures in upright or recumbent positions. Pristina Serena™ adapts to the patient, not the patient to the system.
A flexible biopsy device orientation (horizontal and vertical), combined with gantry and/or patient position provide a large flexibility in lesion approach. Experience remarkable image quality throughout the biopsy procedure and confidently send the tissue samples to pathology.

The Serena™ biopsy platform is a single solution to all imaging aspects of a biopsy procedure potentially saving space, time and money while improving overall procedure workflow. Pristina Serena™ 3D features a universal grid, that makes lesions conspicuity the same in biopsy as in routine images.

Image performance in biopsy is equivalent to 2D/3D screening and diagnostic imaging as Serena™ 3D reuses the same image chain including our iterative algorithm Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction (ASIR).

• Tube parking position at -33° and +33° allows easy access to the breast during the biopsy procedure.
• The tube park position increases visibility of the workspace. It provides complete access during the biopsy procedure and reduces physical strain of the radiologist.
• With Pristina biopsy, a biopsy procedure can be performed in less than 15 minutes.
• The near silence of Pristina and its biopsy positioner provides a calm environment to the patient.
• Lesions located up to 1cm above the paddle can be biopsied.
• The ability to easily change the biopsy device orientation (from vertical to horizontal) without decompressing the patient may accelerate the exam.
• Remote angulation minimises technologist’s travel during procedure, reducing exam time.
• The short distance (<5mm) between detector and the edge of the breast support facilitate biopsies of lesions located close to chest wall.
• A laser light is included to serve as a guidance aid for an accurate anaesthesia injection.
• Touchscreen display conceived to work intuitively in the three axis for targeting (X,Y,Z). It can be placed in both sides of the system to adapt the working position.

This offer is over and above the standard discount available through the NHS Supply Chain framework agreement. The discount is a fixed term offer. All orders must be placed before 31 March 2027.
