ClearCEMA new era in contrast-enhanced mammography

Our new recombination algorithm lifts CEM (contrast-enhanced mammography) breast imaging to a higher, brilliant level: with outstanding image quality, we are setting a new benchmark for accuracy and diagnostic certainty, bringing mammography closer to MRI.

Fast identification of potential cancers

Detect lesions with uncompromised diagnostic confidence thanks to unrivaled ClearCEM image quality. ClearCEM on MAMMOMAT B.brilliant delivers crystal-clear enhancement and consistency, which helps make suspicious areas easy to identify. By generating a more uniform background2, it makes lesions stand out with remarkable brilliance.

Clinical indications

Dense breast tissue – a challenge for cancer detection

The anatomical structure of a dense breast makes the identification of lesion or microcalcification much harder. With ClearCEM images, breast lesion stands out from the surrounding tissue and will thus help radiologists evaluate the likelihood of malignancy.

    Cost-effective workflow

    Quick and convenient ClearCEM workflow for fast results

    ClearCEM can help reduce the need for MRI – saving time, cost, and capacity – and enables to retain the reassurance and comfort of familiar procedures and personnel.

    System design of MAMMOMAT B.brilliant helps reduce tube overheating


    This means that unnecessary delays for both patients and technologists are prevented. At the same time the image quality-dose-ratio is optimized, the time-to-diagnosis is shortened5, and patient throughput can be increased6.
