UCLA moves to collaborate with Hologic

Women's diagnostic imaging systems provider Hologic has entered into a collaborative research agreement with the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles to study advanced breast imaging applications. The research will assess digital mammography workflow versus conventional film, the uses and efficiencies of a dedicated breast ultrasound system in a breast imaging practice, and the effectiveness of computer-aided detection in breast MRI. Emerging mammography technologies will also undergo clinical testing and evaluation for commercial release.
