DALLAS - Information storage and retrieval developer Breece Hill of Louisville, CO, has released its latest optical drives, the MaxOptix T7 and T8, at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) annual conference.
Both products are targeted at small-to-medium businesses and workgroups. The T8 is based on blue-violet laser technologies, with a 23.3-GB capacity and a maximum transmission rate of 11 MB per second. The T8’s capacity is achieved by shortening the wavelength of laser light, from red to violet, thereby producing a smaller beam spot. A smaller beam spot enables a density 2.6 times greater than conventional magneto-optical (MO) drives, according to the firm.
The T7 provides a capacity of 9.1 GB while increasing transmission speed by 15% over earlier generations of the drive, Breece Hill said. The T8 is scheduled to list for $2,650; the T7 will be offered at $1,840.

![A normal mammogram confirmed by three-year radiologic follow-up illustrates reader-marked regions of interest (ROIs) during (A) unaided (round 1) and (B) artificial intelligence (AI)–assisted (round 2) reading. Each colored dot represents an ROI for recall by a human reader. Readers could mark more than one ROI per case, represented by multiple dots of the same color. During AI-assisted reading, the AI system displayed three visible prompts: two with suspicion of malignancy scores of 35% (left mediolateral oblique [L MLO] and craniocaudal [L CC]) and one with a suspicion of malignancy score of 10% (right craniocaudal [R CC]), shown as polygonal overlays. Without AI, six of 10 readers (60%) marked a false-positive ROI. With AI assistance, this fell to two of 10 (20%). R MLO = right mediolateral oblique.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/07/2026-07-14-radiology-mammogram-ai-auto-bias.H0bYO8QlWs.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
