Siemens Medical Solutions has signed a deal giving the Malvern, PA, vendor worldwide rights to distribute the SomoVu breast ultrasound scanner from U-Systems of San Jose, CA.
SomoVu is an automated system that can be used as an adjunct to mammography, with a focus on women with dense breast tissue. The system was designed to produce standardized, repeatable studies in a manner similar to mammography, according to U-Systems.
Siemens is working on automated ultrasound acquisition techniques for other applications as well, the company said.
