Hologic to showcase new technology at RSNA 2016

Hologic will be showcasing new products at the forthcoming scientific assembly and annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

The company will attend the conference in Chicago from November 27th to December 2nd, where it will highlight its portfolio of award-winning breast cancer screening and interventional products, including the new Affirm prone breast biopsy system.

Affirm is the first dedicated prone biopsy system that is upgradable to allow for 3D imaging-guided breast biopsies, with more than 95 percent of patients in a recent survey indicating that the biopsy experience was faster, more comfortable and less painful than expected.

The company will also demonstrate its new Affirm lateral arm biopsy accessory, which enables needle access parallel to the detector to help physicians target challenging lesions.

In total, more than 60 papers, presentations and courses focusing on 3D Mammography exams will be hosted by Hologic at RSNA 2016.

Pete Valenti, Hologic's division president for breast and skeletal health solutions, said: "We are committed to introducing new products, like the Affirm prone system, that offer unique patient and user benefits and address workflow challenges, enhancing the overall healthcare experience."
