Boulder, CO-based medical products and services company Colorado MedTech said it has acquired the assets of the ultrasound supplies group of ATL Ultrasound.

MedTech plans to sell ultrasound consumables such as print media, covers and drapes, and transmission gels to complement the ultrasound accessories business of its Kalona, IA-based CIVCO Medical Instruments subsidiary.

Colorado MedTech said it paid approximately $4.3 million (U.S.) cash for the ATL assets. The deal also includes a five-year exclusive agreement to develop accessories for Bothell, WA-based ATL.

Ultrasound nonmass breast lesion features may signal malignancy

By Amerigo Allegretto

Some nonmass breast lesion characteristics on ultrasound exams can be considered suspicious for malignancy at screening ultrasound.

November 5, 2024

Images depict a 43-year-old woman with a malignant nonmass lesion that was diagnosed as microinvasive ductal carcinoma. (A) Transverse and (B) longitudinal ultrasound images show a hypoechoic nonmass lesion (solid arrows) with segmental distribution in the left breast. The lesion has associated calcifications (dashed arrows in A). (C) Longitudinal color Doppler ultrasound image shows high vascularity. (D) Magnified image in the mediolateral oblique view from screening mammography shows grouped calcifications (arrows), which are considered a mammographic correlate of the ultrasound-detected nonmass lesion (A radiopaque marker attached to the skin is visible in the image because the mammographic exam was performed after screening breast ultrasound). Ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy and pathologic examination revealed ductal carcinoma in situ, but the lesion was upgraded to microinvasive ductal carcinoma at subsequent surgery (2.5-cm ductal carcinoma in situ, histologic grade II, estrogen receptor-positive, progesterone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2-negative).
