that uh...
use fourteen
earlier breast cancer detection there are very few techniques that enable
tomographic or three-dimensional imaging of the dress
mammography these
very good tool
very well-established
has certain limitations we first started working on
on proceed to back around us two thousand currently were
uh... undergoing n_i_h_ funded study and our patient
are being engaged at the university of rochester at a local breast imaging
clinic there
uh... in the future we would hope to
uh... procure a press e_t_ system here bring this research is very important
for us
in a list of things very important to community in the past from twenty five
years
mortality rate due to breast cancer has decreased by thirty percent
which is largely attributed to mammography
however it's not perfect
and a lot actually many cancers are missed especially for women with dense
breast tissue
and the reason for that is that
mammography is a two-dimensional image
and were image in a three-dimensional object the brass
and so the breast has a lot of structure and when we look at it on twitter the
national image
it's it's very confusing and hard to read for a radiologist so
what prestige he does
is it creates uh... slices
images of slices through the breast
which gets rid of all the overlapping structure
and actually gives us very it exquisite detail of breast anatomy there's about
five their academic institutions
that are researching this in the world very likely that a number of other
academic institutions will start to look at this due to its promise in nature
and so we've had almost a decade of experience and we want to keep our
parlayed ideally we would want it right now
this technology is very
crucial
for us moving to take fatigue next direction
and risking losing for a
hopefully early detection and better management
