Flexibility of Design
In large bore MRI systems, Sentinelle’s customized riser allows healthcare providers to take advantage of the additional room. It also allows complete cranial-caudal access and lateral access to the breast for positioning. Patient size is not a constraint and the openness reduces patient anxiety. This innovative design improves accuracy and optimizes outcomes.
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 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.
