AMULET 3D BY FUJIFILM

First 3D mammogram based on stereoscopic imaging

Breast cancer remains the most frequent form of cancer. Thankfully, it is also the one benefiting the most from early detection. That postulate accepted, constant vigilance should be maintained at that stage. An idea Fujifilm focused on for the AMULET 3D. Alas, traditional 2D mammograms’ capture can lack of details and do not always permit deep perception because of the boneless breast composition.

With the AMULET 3D, first 3D mammography tool based on high quality stereoscopic imaging, Fujifilm offers the chance to scan the entire breast and evaluate it with a remarkable level of depth. To deliver a stereoscopic vision similar to the one of the human eye, two X-ray images, captured at 0 and 4 degree views, are then mixed into a single one.

This combination is then screened on a 3D stereo clamshell monitor display for a 3D vision, enabled by the specific glasses wore by the doctor.

NVIDIA’s powerful K2000D GPU was integrated to the AMULET system to allow it reach the highest level of efficiency in terms of stereoscopic imaging. Knowing how cautious doctors are when dealing with potential breast cancers, they will be relieved to have a new trustful partner on their side when locating precisely a detectable tumor.
