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.

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.

It is the hope of the NCBC that the comparison reports will be used by
participating breast centers to identify where quality care already exists and
where quality care improvements can be made.
The NCBC will officially recognize each participant in this program as a
Certified Participant in the National Quality Measures for Breast Centers™.
This designation will grant eligibility to become a Certified Quality Breast
Center™ and ultimately a Certified Breast Center of Excellence™. The
NCBC will begin its notification of the National Quality Measures for Breast
Centers™ program and its certifications to insurance companies and payers
whereby they will be provided a resource to confirm quality breast care. Also
within the next year, the NCBC anticipates establishing benchmarks for each of
the National Quality Measures for Breast Centers™ based upon the data of
participating breast centers. These benchmarks will continually be
assessed and changed over time as the input data changes and the quality of care
improves.

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
