MoBx, the only provider of mobile stereotaxy services in Northern
California, proudly announces the roll out of brand new Fischer Imaging digital
stereotaxy tables for over half of its fleet of mobile facilities as well as upgrades
of its most recent tables, so that all tables are now equivalent. These new
systems will be installed in mid-December and should not interfere with our
current operations.
MoBx currently provides dozens of medical facilities from Eureka to Fresno in
California and the States of Arizona and Utah with mobile stereotaxy
services.
Each table comes equipped with new Gavox digital CCD camera that provides
the sharpest images available. The new cameras will help radiologists and
technologists see faint microcalcifications much more easily now, increasing the
number of cases that can be biopsied through the stereotactic route.
The upgrades and new tables include new software which will have a uniform
look and feel, and which is even easier to use. It allows methods of comparison
of images that weren't available previously.
The new systems come equipped with newly contoured and padded tables to
maximize comfort for patients during the procedure.
In addition, images of the biopsy procedure can now be "burned" to CD-ROM
and read on Windows NT 2000 equipped computers. Alternatively, MoBx can print
images on high quality photographic paper or transparencies for hard copy.
Fischer Imaging has produced more stereotactic tables than any other
manufacturer. Added to the new Fischer systems are the New Mammotome ST systems that
MoBx brought on board at the end of 2003. The Mammotome is acknowledged as the
most widely used minimally invasive method of acquiring tissue for a breast
biopsy. Soon, 8 gauge Mammotome needles will be available for use on MoBx's
facilities.
