GE is introducing a new version of its automated breast ultrasound system at RSNA conference, the Invenia ABUS. The system provides some new automated compression tools for enhanced workflow and ergonomics, enabling the capture of whole breast 3D volumes in less time compared to previous versions.
The Invenia ABUS createss a reproducible, operator-independent result from a fully automated scan that takes around 15 minutes. It captures whole breast 3D volumes that are displayed at the workstation as coronal view slices. The system is meant to be used as an adjunct to mammography for breast cancer screening in women with dense breast tissue. According to GE, when used in addition to mammography, Invenia ABUS can improve breast cancer detection by 35.7 percent over mammography alone in women studied.
