Women's imaging developer Hologic has signed a collaborative research agreement with the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA).
Hologic and UCLA will work together on a number of research projects to assess current uses of breast imaging modalities and to explore potential methods for improved screening and diagnostic applications, according to the Bedford, MA-based vendor.
In particular, the research will assess digital mammography workflow compared with conventional film-based approaches, as well as the uses and efficiencies of a dedicated breast ultrasound system in a breast imaging practice; the effectiveness of computer-aided-detection in breast MRI will also be evaluated, Hologic said. Additional areas of research will focus on new mammography technologies that will undergo clinical testing and be evaluated for commercial release, according to the vendor.
