Dear Business & Industry Insider,
Breast tomosynthesis is one of the technologies most likely to have a big impact on mammography in the years to come. Some of mammography's major players are developing digital tomosynthesis systems, which turn a stationary mammography gantry head into a tilting assembly that "scans" breast tissue rather than creating single-projection images as traditional systems do.
A British start-up firm is placing its bet on the future of breast tomosynthesis by developing a workstation dedicated to processing and displaying tomosynthesis studies. The company is called Dexela, and they're the subject of this edition's Insider Exclusive.
Dexela's workstation is designed to run on a standard PC and process images acquired with a full-field digital mammography system adapted for tomosynthesis. The company believes that breast tomosynthesis will enable radiologists to improve their accuracy in reading mammography studies, while also providing a more comfortable experience for patients.
Dexela is already working with other developers of cutting-edge mammography technology, and also has relationships with some of mammography's leading clinical luminaries. Read all about Dexela by clicking here.
