Planmed Clarity 2D Full Field Digital Mammography System
Authorized Planmed mammography equipment supplier. The Planmed Clarity 2D is a full-service digital mammography solution. Use it for breast cancer screening, diagnostic mammograms, and guided biopsy, and upgrade the system at any point to perform digital breast tomosynthesis. While it is powerful, it is also comfortable for both patients and staff. Soft compression panels and thoughtfully placed handles reduce awkward positioning, and an easy operator interface reduces repetitive strain so staff can perform exams with ease.
The Clarity 2D is an exceptional choice for busy mammography departments with high patient volumes and limited space. Fully motorized functions and optimized control placement reduce operator strain, touchscreen operation smooths workflow, and enhanced computing power produces crisp images at the lowest possible patient dose. A single dual-mode X-ray tube and a modular upgrade path let the unit grow from a fast screening system into a high-precision diagnostic system, while the patented MaxView positioning, a smart paddle, and Planmed Clarity Flow keep exams comfortable and efficient.

Full Field 2D Mammography with a Modular Upgrade Path
The Clarity 2D is a versatile imaging solution for busy departments. Premium 2D image quality, comfort-focused positioning, and a modular path to tomosynthesis and biopsy give patients and diagnosticians the information they need. Full technical detail is in the expandable sections below.
Premium Image Quality: crisp, clear images at the lowest achievable patient dose, with built-in post-processing to enhance sharpness and brightness for clear views of suspicious areas, plus pinch to zoom
Smart Paddle Compression: proprietary smart paddles mold to the patient anatomy for more uniform, comfortable pressure and release automatically to reduce compression time and improve comfort
MaxView Breast Positioning: the patented MaxView system uses radiolucent sheets and gentle traction to draw more tissue, including the inframammary fold and pectoral muscle, into the imaging field
Full Field Flex-AEC: large automatic exposure control coverage delivers optimal imaging in every mode and adapts the dose to tissue thickness
Compact Design: an ultra compact bucky and side-integrated screens and controls keep the footprint small for departments with limited space
SideAccess Ergonomics: SideAccess positioning, a curved contoured chin guard, extended handlebars, and manual compression reduce awkward posture and repetitive strain
Modular Upgrade Path: the Clarity 2D is designed to grow with your facility, with optional modules that add Digital Breast Tomosynthesis and a review workstation, noting that the tomosynthesis upgrade is not available for sale in the USA
Dual-Mode X-Ray Tube: a single dual-mode tube performs 2D mammography and can be converted to tomosynthesis in the field with a few simple steps, which makes the system an exceptional value
Optional Tomosynthesis: the optional DBT upgrade uses Continuous Sync-and-Shoot movement and TomoMarker technology for clear 3D images
Optional Stereotactic Biopsy: the Planmed ClarityGuide is a high-precision, lightweight stereotactic biopsy option compatible with vertical or lateral vacuum-assisted devices, not available for sale in the USA
Clarity Flow Touchscreen: configurable dual touchscreens with OneTouch workflow, an on-screen guide, precision targeting, and pinch to zoom simplify the workflow for any operator
Tailored Image Processing: Clarity image processing software adjusts brightness and contrast for a clear view, reducing the need for retakes
How the Clarity 2D compares against a conventional fixed 2D mammography unit:
The Clarity 2D is built to transform effortlessly from a fast screening unit into a high-precision diagnostic system. Versatile options cover screening, diagnostic mammography, and magnification, and the dual-mode tube and modular design let a facility add Digital Breast Tomosynthesis and the Planmed ClarityGuide stereotactic biopsy system as needs grow, where those options are available. With MaxView, a smart paddle, and Planmed Clarity Flow, the unit keeps exams comfortable and efficient for both patients and technologists.

Clinical Applications
Deployed across busy breast imaging programs where full field 2D screening, diagnostic work-ups, and a future path to tomosynthesis and biopsy come together on one compact, comfortable platform.
A fast 2D workflow with Clarity Flow and smart compression suits busy, high patient volume screening departments.
Magnification and diagnostic imaging modes transform the unit from a screening system into a high-precision diagnostic system.
An ultra compact bucky with side-integrated screens fits the unit into limited space without an extensive remodel.
A dual-mode tube and modular design let a facility add Digital Breast Tomosynthesis later, where the option is available.
The optional Planmed ClarityGuide stereotactic biopsy system supports precise sampling, where the option is available.
MaxView, an auto-release smart paddle, and ergonomic handlebars reduce discomfort, which can improve screening compliance.
From Comfortable Positioning to a Future-Proof Read
A mammography workflow built for speed, comfort, and growth. MaxView positioning, low dose 2D acquisition, Clarity Flow enhancement, and a modular upgrade path move each patient from positioning to diagnosis. Expanded workflow details are in the expandable sections below.
The patient is positioned with the SideAccess system, a curved chin guard, and extended handlebars for comfort. The patented MaxView system draws more tissue into the imaging field with radiolucent sheets and gentle traction, and the smart paddle molds to the patient and releases automatically to shorten compression time.
The dual-mode X-ray tube captures full field 2D mammography while Full Field Flex-AEC sets the optimal dose for the tissue thickness, keeping the patient dose as low as achievable. Fully motorized functions and optimized controls let the technologist work quickly with less strain.
Clarity image processing fine-tunes contrast, sharpness, and brightness for a clear view of suspicious areas, with pinch to zoom for closer inspection. The configurable dual touchscreens with Planmed Clarity Flow guide the operator and can display a reference mammogram to aid positioning.
Images are read on the Planmed Clarity Manager workstation or an optional review workstation with the DigiPad shortcut keyboard, and the system stores and shares studies through PACS and DICOM. When the program is ready, the dual-mode tube and modular design allow an upgrade to tomosynthesis where the option is available.
