Sentinelle Vanguard Breast MR Auxiliary Table^®

Superior image quality through unique coil technology

The Variable Coil Geometry of the 8-channel array allows you to customize the position of the coils for every patient. Vanguard coils can be moved medially and laterally, as well as posteriorally towards the axilla and chest wall improving image quality compared to traditional tabletop coils.

The unique coil geometry improves overall signal to noise ratio resulting in higher resolution images. Higher resolution images provide more detailed information and may promote earlier detection of lesions. This can, in turn, result in better management of disease and treatment. Please see our image gallery for examples of Sentinelle’s excellent breast MR image quality.

Access all quadrants of the breast

Complete and open medial and lateral access provided by the Vanguard® design allows interventions to all quadrants of the breast. The system employs adjustable interventional grids which can be moved medially and laterally as well as towards the axilla and chest wall, providing access to lesions in the inner upper and outer upper quadrants of the breast. A removable sternum support and support plate improves access to lesions near the chest wall in medial approaches.

The Vanguard is compatible with several biopsy devices and localization needles.

Improved patient comfort

Significant effort has gone into the design and padding of the patient support. Increased patient clearance in the bore means that more patients can be comfortably positioned with arms by their side. This improves comfort for the patient and reduces motion during the exam. The ‘wings’ of the system not only provide support for this positioning but also protect the patient from the magnet.

Our padding is made of visco-elastic foam for improved comfort, especially in common pressure areas such as the diaphragm and sternum. All padding is adjustable, allowing customized cushioning for every patient, and the foam is covered in surgical grade material allowing for easy clean up.

Improved workflow

The Sentinelle Vanguard Breast MR Auxiliary Table is a comprehensive system. All features, including storage drawers, tray tables, biopsy grids, padding, safety rails, movable sternum supports, and integrated lighting are designed to work together to improve workflow. The Vanguard is the only dedicated, detachable table design available for Breast MR.

The Vanguard system’s unique detachable table design allows patient preparation, prior to and after both imaging and intervention, outside the MR suite. Used in conjunction with the standard Signa™ detachable table, this results in significant savings in per-patient magnet use time.
