This paper written by Andrew Smith, PhD, Vice President Breast Health R&D, documents several methods by which users of Hologic I-View software may biopsy lesions seen in contrast images using stereotactic methods  

Authored by Jason McKellop, MD, this white paper will discuss his experience at Beverly Radiology Medical Group, Breastlink Tarzana as they adopted high resolution imaging with 3DQuorum® technology.

The article is intended to assess the injection techniques in contrast imaging. Please visit PubMed for the full text article.

Inc.  This whitepaper documents how radiologists demonstrated clinical superiority,measured by significantly increased area under the ROC curve, when reviewing tomosynthesis cases with the Genius AI Detection information compared to reviewing the cases without the information.

Inc.  This whitepaper documents how Hologic's product, 3DQuorum 6-mm slices known as SmartSlices can significantly reduce the number of slices and file sizes in a tomosynthesis dataset, while maintaining clinical performance compared to 1-mm datasets. The fewer number of total slices in the study allows a decrease in radiologist interpretation time, saving on average 1 hour per reader in an 8-hour day.

  Authored by Georgia Giakoumis Spear, M.D., this white paper will discuss her experience at NorthShore University Health System as they adopted proven technological advances to increase their ability to detect breast cancers at the earliest stage.

Authored by Alejandro Tejerina, MD, this white paper will cover the advances in breast screening technology, most notably tomosynthesis, are enabling us to visualize subtle lesions, not previously seen on 2D images. However, the improvements in imaging quality and specificity provided by tomosynthesis pose challenges to our protocols for the management of lesions identified with the technology.
