Equipment detail / Mammography
Breast imaging centers, women's health programs, hospitals, and international clinics that want a current-generation NEW 3D tomosynthesis mammography system with factory warranty at a competitive price point versus Hologic and GE.

digital breast tomosynthesis (3D) mammography — NEW
Villa Sistemi Medicali Melody DBT — a current-generation NEW digital breast tomosynthesis (3D) mammography system from Villa Sistemi Medicali, the Italian medical imaging manufacturer with a long-standing breast imaging product line. Pairs an amorphous-selenium direct-capture flat-panel detector with a tungsten anode X-ray tube (rhodium/silver filtration) and full digital breast tomosynthesis acquisition alongside standard 2D FFDM on the same gantry, with an integrated acquisition workstation and review monitor for streamlined screening and diagnostic workflow. Sold NEW with full factory warranty rather than as a refurbished system. Typical clinical scope covers screening mammography, diagnostic mammography, and image-guided procedures (with the appropriate biopsy attachment by configuration) — the same workload as a Hologic Selenia Dimensions, Metaltronica Helianthus DBT, or GE Senographe Pristina, in a current-generation 3D tomosynthesis platform. Compared to a refurbished Hologic Selenia Dimensions, the Villa Melody DBT is brand-NEW with factory warranty and current parts/service support, at a meaningfully lower acquisition cost than buying a NEW Hologic. Compared to the Metaltronica Helianthus DBT, both systems compete in the same NEW 3D tomosynthesis tier from established Italian breast imaging manufacturers — final selection typically comes down to specific workflow features, biopsy add-on requirements, and total quoted package. MIS sells the Villa Melody DBT NEW with site planning, delivery, install, ACR/MQSA calibration, applications training, parts support, and engineer-led service. Strong fit for breast imaging programs that want NEW 3D tomosynthesis hardware on a tighter capital budget than the major-OEM list price.
