At its core is the 24 x 29 cm direct-capture amorphous selenium (a-Se) flat-panel detector that has become the gold standard in mammographic image acquisition, providing sharp, high-contrast images with excellent spatial resolution for detecting microcalcifications, masses, and subtle architectural distortions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike older Hologic Selenia systems that used the legacy gantry design with molybdenum\/rhodium (Mo\/Rh) target combinations, the Dimensions 2D is built on the modern Dimensions architecture featuring the same gantry, tungsten-target X-ray tube, compact 70 cm SID tube head, and FAST Paddle compression system used across all Dimensions configurations. This means facilities acquiring the Dimensions 2D get the full benefit of Hologic's latest mechanical and imaging platform without the premium cost associated with 3D tomosynthesis capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dimensions 2D is designed for facilities that need high-quality 2D digital mammography today with the flexibility to add 3D tomosynthesis in the future. Whether you are replacing an aging analog or CR-based mammography system, upgrading from a legacy Selenia, or equipping a new breast imaging suite, the Dimensions 2D provides a modern, future-proof foundation for your mammography program. The system is FDA cleared for screening and diagnostic mammography and meets all MQSA equipment requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"width:100%; border-collapse:collapse;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDetector Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDirect-capture amorphous selenium (a-Se) flat panel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDetector Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 x 29 cm active imaging area\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePixel Pitch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70 microns\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eX-Ray Target\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTungsten (W)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFilter Options\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRhodium (Rh), Silver (Ag), Aluminum (Al)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ekVp Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 to 49 kVp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSource-to-Image Distance (SID)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompression System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFAST Paddle, 0 to 200 N motorized\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Requirements\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e208 to 240V single phase, 40A dedicated circuit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSystem Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 900 lbs (gantry)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Room Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 x 12 feet (scan room)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDICOM Connectivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDICOM 3.0 compliant (Store, Print, Worklist, Query\/Retrieve)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDirect-Capture Amorphous Selenium Detector\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dimensions 2D uses Hologic's direct-capture a-Se detector technology, which converts X-ray photons directly into electrical signals without the intermediate scintillator conversion step required by indirect-capture detectors (such as cesium iodide systems used by GE and Siemens). This direct conversion process preserves spatial resolution at the detector level, producing sharper mammographic images with less electronic noise and scatter. The result is superior visualization of fine microcalcifications, spiculated masses, and subtle tissue density changes that are critical for early breast cancer detection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAST Paddle Compression System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FAST (Fully Automatic Self-adjusting Tilt) Paddle is standard on the Dimensions 2D. This Hologic-exclusive compression technology automatically adjusts the paddle angle to follow the natural contour of the chest wall, distributing compression force more evenly across the breast tissue. The FAST Paddle improves tissue visualization near the chest wall, reduces the number of repositioning attempts, and improves patient comfort compared to conventional rigid flat paddles. Motorized compression from 0 to 200 Newtons provides precise, reproducible force control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompact 70 cm SID Tube Head\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe streamlined tube head design with a 70 cm source-to-image distance provides generous clearance for patient positioning. The compact geometry gives technologists more working space around the patient during the examination, improving workflow ergonomics and reducing positioning time in high-volume screening environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStreamlined Acquisition Workflow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dimensions 2D acquisition workstation features an intuitive touchscreen interface that streamlines the mammography workflow from patient check-in through image review and PACS transfer. Automated exposure control, integrated quality assurance tools, and DICOM 3.0 connectivity ensure efficient integration into existing departmental workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eUpgrade Path to 3D Tomosynthesis\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most compelling advantages of choosing the Dimensions 2D over legacy mammography platforms is the built-in upgrade path to 3D tomosynthesis. Because the Dimensions 2D shares the same gantry, detector, and tube hardware as all other Dimensions configurations, facilities can add 3D tomosynthesis capability through a field upgrade that includes the tomosynthesis acquisition software, reconstruction algorithms, and C-View synthesized 2D technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C-View synthesized 2D capability generates a diagnostic-quality 2D image from the 3D tomosynthesis dataset, eliminating the need for a separate 2D acquisition and reducing total breast dose by approximately 45%. This upgrade path makes the Dimensions 2D a smart strategic investment for facilities that want to start with 2D mammography today and add 3D capability when their clinical needs or budget allow, without the cost and disruption of replacing the entire system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContact ARRAD for an assessment of upgrade eligibility and pricing for your specific Dimensions 2D system. Upgrade availability depends on system revision, hardware configuration, and current software version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePricing and Acquisition Options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNew systems:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately $180,000 to $200,000 depending on included accessories, software options, and installation scope.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefurbished systems:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately $35,000 to $60,000 depending on system age, detector condition, tube hours, and software version.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dimensions 2D offers the most affordable entry point into the modern Dimensions platform.
