VS Hospitals Unveils Fujifilm's AI-Enabled Digital Mammography System for Breast Cancer Detection

The newly installed system combines high-resolution breast imaging with AI-assisted features and exposure control technologies to support the detection of breast abnormalities

VS Hospitals has introduced Fujifilm's AMULET SOPHINITY 2D digital mammography system at its Chennai facility to strengthen breast cancer screening and diagnostic imaging services.

The newly installed system combines high-resolution breast imaging with artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted features and exposure control technologies to support the detection of breast abnormalities, including small microcalcifications that may indicate early signs of cancer.

The AMULET SOPHINITY features a 50-micron high-resolution detector designed to capture detailed images of breast tissue. Its intelligent exposure control automatically adjusts X-ray exposure according to breast composition while maintaining image quality.

The system also incorporates AI-based positioning support to assist imaging technicians in achieving consistent patient positioning during examinations.

In addition to imaging capabilities, the system includes patient comfort features such as flexible positioning and intelligent breast compression and decompression. It can acquire standard images in approximately five seconds, while high-resolution imaging takes around 12 seconds, helping streamline the mammography examination process.

Commenting on the installation, Prof. Dr. S. Subramanian, Chairman and Managing Director of VS Hospitals, said, “Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women. Early detection plays a crucial role in improving treatment outcomes, and mammography is an important screening tool for identifying breast abnormalities at an early stage.”

As part of the initiative, VS Hospitals is offering free mammography screenings to underprivileged women throughout November 2026 to encourage breast cancer screening and improve access to diagnostic services.

The latest imaging system adds to VS Hospitals' portfolio of advanced medical equipment and technologies.

Last year, the Chennai-based multi-specialty hospital introduced the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution, a robotic-assisted knee replacement system, at its Kilpauk campus. The technology is designed to support greater precision and personalisation in knee replacement procedures.
