Hologic and Agfa have finalized an agreement under which Hologic will manufacture a digital mammography system to be private-labeled and distributed by Agfa in certain international markets. The system, which Agfa will call Embrace, will be built around Hologic's flat-panel amorphous selenium technology but will include Agfa image processing and information technology. The Joint Development and OEM Purchase Agreement is an outgrowth of a Letter of Intent signed by the two companies in April 2002.
Could a Deep Learning Model for Mammography Improve Prediction of DCIS and Invasive Breast Cancer?
April 15th 2024Artificial intelligence (AI) assessment of mammography images may significantly enhance the prediction of invasive breast cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in women with breast cancer, according to new research presented at the Society for Breast Imaging (SBI) conference.
Mammography-Based AI Abnormality Scoring May Improve Prediction of Invasive Upgrade of DCIS
April 9th 2024Emerging research suggests that an artificial intelligence (AI) score of 75 or greater for mammography abnormalities more than doubles the likelihood of invasive upgrade of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) diagnosed with percutaneous biopsy.
Mammography Study: AI Improves Breast Cancer Detection and Reduces Reading Time with DBT
April 3rd 2024An emerging artificial intelligence (AI) model demonstrated more than 12 percent higher specificity and reduced image reading time by nearly six seconds in comparison to unassisted radiologist interpretation of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) images.
