Biopsy Sciences
Biopsy Sciences® is proud to introduce the HydroMARK® breast biopsy site marker developed by John Fisher MD, a breast Radiologist.  It’s the only breast marker that is made of 90% water, has less than 2mm of migration, marks the exact biopsy location, and does not contain collagen (which has known allergies).  Because it’s 90% water, it enables physicians to clearly visualize the marker under ultrasound imaging for 6 or more weeks following deployment.  Once deployed in the biopsy cavity the HydroMARK® absorbs the surrounding fluid, swells in length and diameter, and anchors in the cavity. The HydroMARK® will allow for ultrasound needle localizations.  Ultrasound needle localizations are faster, less painful, and compression free.  The HydroMARK® contains a central titanium or stainless steel metal marker for permanent visibility under mammography.

Sonociné
SonoCiné develops automated whole breast ultrasound systems intended for the early detection of breast cancer.  The system uses a computer-guided arm to automatically manipulate a standard ultrasound probe to perform and record an entire breast exam.

The SonoCiné system does not require purchase of a custom ultrasound device as it is compatible with most standard clinical ultrasound systems used in the breast care environment.  SonoCiné stores the entire ultrasound exam for convenient review and utilizes proprietary image processing capabilities to allow 2-D and 3-D image review and manipulation. 

By separating the scan and review functions, SonoCiné takes full advantage of the skills and training of radiologists and sonographers.  The radiologist’s time is greatly reduced as she is required only to review the actual scan images.  The quality of the images themselves are optimized because the sonographer can pay full attention to the scan process without the distraction of diagnosing the clinical condition.

The SonoCiné system enables a convenient and comfortable ultrasound exam, empowering the breast radiologist to effectively integrate ultrasound into the clinical setting of a breast center.  In doing so, SonoCiné takes advantage of the clinically proven cancer detection capabilities of ultrasound without the limitations of a hand-held exam.
