The Cygnus Series Scan Station is the patient-facing imaging component of an automated 3D breast ultrasound system. It uses a dedicated breast-volume transducer to automatically acquire standardized volumetric ultrasound data of the breast, which can then be transferred to a separate workstation for diagnostic review. The system is designed to streamline breast screening by separating image acquisition from interpretation, while providing consistent, repeatable imaging across examinations.
Features & Benefits
- Automated 3D breast ultrasound scanning
- Dedicated concave breast-volume transducer designed to follow breast anatomy
- Automated and standardized image acquisition
- Wide-field volumetric breast imaging
- Generates transverse, sagittal, coronal, and 3D image data
- Fast scanning and data transmission to the diagnostic workstation
- Ergonomic patient positioning and scanning design
- Integrated handheld ultrasound (HHUS) capability on compatible configurations for targeted examination
- Supports focused scanning of the axillary region
- Designed for separation of scanning and diagnostic interpretation
- Volumetric data can be archived for subsequent review and comparison
- Supports a standardized workflow from patient positioning → scanning → workstation review → reporting
Clinical Application
The Cygnus Scan Station is designed for breast cancer screening, breast imaging, and evaluation of breast abnormalities, particularly where standardized volumetric imaging is beneficial. It can be used to acquire comprehensive breast ultrasound data for assessing breast masses, nodules, and other tissue abnormalities, with volumetric imaging providing additional information for lesion localization and clinical assessment. The system is suitable for breast imaging centers, hospitals, diagnostic clinics, and women’s health facilities, and can support screening, diagnostic assessment, treatment planning, and follow-up examinations.
