FDA Clears Delphinus’s Breast Ultrasound Tomography System
Delphinus Medical Technologies Inc., a Michigan-based ultrasound company, has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its whole breast ultrasound tomography system for diagnostic breast imaging.
The SoftVue system uses ring transducer technology to transmit and receive ultrasound signals. Traditional hand-held ultrasound and automated breast ultrasound systems obtain reflected echoes returning in the direction of the linear transducer, where this system captures reflection echoes from all directions around the breast and gathers transmitted signals coming through the breast, according to the company. There is currently no other ultrasound system available that does that, the company said.
The breast is suspended in warm water, and the exams are one to two minutes per breast, the company said. SoftVue provides a complete map of the whole breast, and the exam is more consistent and uniform than traditional ultrasound, according to the company.

New Research Examines Socioeconomic Factors with Mammography No-Shows
April 10th 2024Patients with Medicaid or means-tested insurance were over 27 percent more likely to miss mammography appointments, and only 65 percent of women with three of more adverse social determinants of health had a mammography exam in a two-year period covering 2020 and 2021, according to new research and a report from the CDC.
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.
