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.

Dilon Technologies
Breast-Specific Gamma Imaging (BSGI), is a molecular imaging technique that has been proven to be an effective tool in the early detection of breast cancer and in the differentiation of malignant and benign tumors. The Dilon 6800 captures vital tumor information by viewing the metabolism of cancerous lesions via radiopharmaceutical uptake. The novel camera can detect cancers as small as 3 mm, see lesions independent of tissue density and is capable of providing all the same views as mammography. BSGI can also be used as a pre-surgical tool to help determine multifocality, multicentricity, and the extent of disease.

SonoCiné, Inc.

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.

TechniScan, Inc.
The TechniScan whole breast ultrasound system produces 3-D images of the entire breast volume using both transmission and reflection images. The system is designed to maximize patient comfort during the scanning process by enabling a software controlled, automated breast examination while the patient lies prone. During the exam, the breast is comfortably suspended in a warm water bath maintained near skin temperature. The ultrasound arrays are moved in a continuous scan to produce a 3-D image of the breast, displayed in 2-D slices in three planes. The high resolution, reconstructed 3-D tomographic views are produced using proprietary algorithms. The resulting images can then be viewed on a DICOM review station by a radiologist.
Key features:
Provides patient comfort, i.e. requires no breast compression
Provides data for comparison of breast features month to month or year to year 
Produces image quality that is relatively independent of operator skill or experience
Uses no ionizing radiation
TechniScan, Inc. has applied for 510(k) clearance of the WBU System, which is currently an Investigational Device. The system is not available for sale at this time.
