Updated 3D Ultrasound Tomography Device Offers Enhanced Software for Breast Imaging Reconstruction

New software for the Breast Acoustic CT device provides multiple features for improved visualization and tissue characterization for breast imaging assessments.

Emphasizing the use of optimized and spatially varying deconvolution in reflection imaging reconstruction, version 4.5.0. of the software for the Breast Acoustic CT device offers greater accuracy in imaging without detracting from the platform’s efficient image processing time, according to QT Imaging, the manufacturer of Breast Acoustic CT.

"The enhanced reflection images represent a meaningful improvement in image quality and usability. Combining reflection with speed of sound information provides additional insight that was not previously available from reflection imaging alone," said John Tentinger, MD, the president and chief executive officer of Innovative Radiology, a radiology center in West Des Moines, Iowa.

QT Imaging said other key features with the 4.5.0. software include improved assessment capability for evaluating fibroglandular tissue composition in women with breast implants, and enhanced image reconstruction for small breasts.
