About Fischer-Giotto

More than 40 years in x-ray imaging and 18 years exclusively dedicated to the early detection of breast cancer—this is the background of the development of the latest Giotto Digital Mammogrphy System 3D.

Years spent working together with radiologists and radiology technologists with the aim of improving image quality, simplifying the procedures have given them the right tools to successfully achieve their goals. Early detection of breast cancer is now an achieved goal and makes the task more convenient and safer for both the patients and the technologists.

More than 2 million women all over the world have been examined using the Giotto FFDM technology conceived, designed and carried out in IMS R&D laboratories in Italy. Excellent image quality, full dedication to the common task for early detection of breast cancer, designed for patient comfort, with continuous technological advance, along with attention to requirements of radiologists and radiographers are some of the reasons for the success of this amazing mammography unit.

On October 31, 2011, Giotto USA officially received their 510(k) from the U.S. Federal Drug Administration for sale of Giotto 3D Digital Mammography.
