U-Systems

U-Systems of San Jose, CA, will display its Automated Breast Ultrasound System (ABUS) at RSNA 2005.

ABUS consists of the Automated Breast Scan Station (ABS) and the BreastView Station (BVS). The FDA-cleared system is designed to acquire 3D volumetric breast image data for display on BreastView. The ABUS' wide-field-of-view transducer for automated image acquisition, in combination with the BreastView station, enables users to navigate through volumetric breast ultrasound data.

U-Systems is marketing ABUS to women's health and breast centers in the U.S. that have high exam volume and see a number of women with dense breast tissue. It is also selling the system in Taiwan and Europe, where the ABUS has received the CE Mark. The system's selling price is $295,000.
