HSL is delighted to announce our distribution of three industry-leading specimen radiography solutions from Hologic: the Trident® HD, Faxitron® Path, and Faxitron® Core systems. Now available throughout the island of Ireland, these systems represent a significant step forward in imaging precision, workflow efficiency, and point-of-care diagnostics.

These advanced systems are designed to meet the evolving needs of clinicians working in surgery, pathology, and biopsy settings – each offering a tailored solution that brings speed and confidence to specimen verification.

Specimen Imaging in Real Time with Trident® HD

For breast-conserving surgery and stereotactic breast biopsies, having immediate access to accurate imaging is critical. The Trident® HD Specimen Radiography System brings high-resolution imaging directly into the operating theatre or procedure room, enabling instant confirmation of margins, markers, and calcifications – without the need to transport specimens elsewhere.

With its direct capture amorphous selenium technology, Trident HD produces exceptionally detailed images in seconds. Despite its powerful capabilities, the unit is compact and mobile, featuring a 37% smaller footprint than its predecessor while offering a 71% larger imaging area. Integration into existing clinical systems is simple, thanks to wireless connectivity and direct transfer to PACS or SecurView® DX.

Accelerating Pathology Workflows with Faxitron® Path

In the pathology lab, precision and speed are equally essential. The Faxitron® Path Specimen Radiography System – also known as the PathVision™ system – has been designed to deliver high-resolution images of everything from thin tissue slices to whole mastectomies, bone, and fetal remains.

With an intuitive interface and a large field of view, this system reduces the time required to prepare and process samples. Images can be captured and sent to PACS at the touch of a button, improving turnaround time and enhancing collaboration across departments. Studies have shown that in-lab radiography with systems like Faxitron Path can reduce tissue block use and improve final report efficiency – delivering tangible clinical benefits for both staff and patients.

Bringing Portability and Speed to Biopsy with Faxitron® Core

Finally, the Faxitron® Core Specimen Radiography System offers a compact, solution for core biopsy verification. Designed to sit comfortably on a benchtop, this system captures high-quality images of breast biopsy cores in seconds, eliminating the need to move patients or delay procedures.

The Core system is ideal for busy breast clinics or interventional suites, allowing clinicians to confirm sample adequacy in real time, without relying on imaging suites or additional equipment. Its portability and ease of use make it a valuable addition to any point-of-care setting where time and accuracy matter.

Supporting Better Outcomes with Proven Technology

All three systems are developed by Hologic, a global leader in breast health and medical imaging. Their technologies are trusted in healthcare settings worldwide, and now, through HSL, they are available to support teams across Ireland and Northern Ireland.

By integrating specimen radiography into the surgical, pathology, or biopsy workflow, healthcare providers can reduce delays, minimise patient anxiety, and enhance diagnostic accuracy—ultimately improving outcomes.
