The new AMULET Innovality system marks a milestone in early breast cancer screening access for Tier II India.
In a move set to significantly enhance women’s health diagnostics in Tier II India, Fujifilm India has installed its flagship AMULET Innovality mammography system at Vishwam Diagnostics in Nizamabad. This installation is part of Fujifilm’s broader commitment to bridge the diagnostic access gap between urban and non-urban India, especially in the realm of early breast cancer detection.
The AMULET Innovality is one of the most advanced Full-Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) systems available globally. Known for its high-resolution imaging, low radiation dosage, and 3D tomosynthesis capabilities, it delivers precision imaging that is critical for early and accurate breast cancer diagnosis. Its integration into Vishwam Diagnostics now enables women in and around Nizamabad to access mammography quality that was previously available only in metro cities.
Why This Matters
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Indian women, with recent data from the National Cancer Registry Programme estimating over 1.5 lakh new cases annually. Early detection remains the single most effective strategy in reducing mortality, but access to timely and accurate mammography screening has remained a challenge outside India’s metros.
This collaboration between Fujifilm India and Vishwam Diagnostics directly responds to this gap.
“Access to advanced imaging technology should not be a privilege limited to big cities,” said Koji Wada, Managing Director of Fujifilm India. “Our partnership with Vishwam Diagnostics is aligned with our commitment to expand healthcare access across India’s Tier II and Tier III regions.”
Inside the Technology: AMULET Innovality
Developed in Japan and refined for global screening needs, the AMULET Innovality includes:
• 3D Breast Tomosynthesis: Offers layered imaging, making it easier to identify masses in dense breast tissue.
• Faster Scanning Times: Reduces compression duration and improves patient comfort.
• Low Dose Technology: Adheres to global radiation safety norms, crucial for repeat screenings.
• Flexible Patient Positioning: Designed for diverse body types, improving image accuracy.
“Precision, comfort, and confidence, that’s what this system brings to our patients,” said a senior radiologist from Vishwam Diagnostics. “We are proud to now offer Nizamabad the same imaging quality found in hospitals in cities like Hyderabad, Mumbai, or Delhi.”
Expanding Fujifilm’s Vision in Preventive Healthcare
Fujifilm India has been steadily expanding its healthcare technology footprint across India, with special attention to breast health. This installation is part of its ‘Find It Early, Fight It Early’ initiative, focused on equipping diagnostic centres with high-precision tools and training support.
The installation at Vishwam Diagnostics also represents a decentralization of health infrastructure, making advanced diagnostics available at the first point of care, rather than forcing patients to travel hundreds of kilometers.
“This is not just a machine upgrade, it’s a shift in healthcare access, especially for women in smaller towns,” noted a senior member of Fujifilm’s medical systems division. “With every installation, we’re rewriting the geography of diagnosis.”
About the Partners
Fujifilm India is the Indian arm of Fujifilm Holdings Corporation, a global leader in imaging, healthcare, and optical devices. The company has made significant inroads into digital radiography, endoscopy, and AI-enabled diagnostic imaging over the past decade in India.
Vishwam Diagnostics, based in Nizamabad, is one of the region’s fastest-growing diagnostic centres, offering pathology, radiology, and specialty scanning services. The addition of the AMULET Innovality system is expected to draw patients not only from Nizamabad but also neighboring districts in Telangana and parts of Maharashtra.
