Women's imaging firm Hologic has released its C-View synthesized 2D image reconstruction algorithm, which eliminates the need for a conventional 2D mammogram as a component of a tomosynthesis breast cancer screening exam. The software is approved for sale throughout the European Economic Area and in other countries recognizing the CE Mark.
For users of Hologic's 2D plus 3D tomosynthesis breast cancer screening system, C-View software creates a 2D image from a single tomosynthesis scan and eliminates the need for the acquisition of additional 2D exposures, according to the company.
Hologic is featuring the new algorithm along with its Selenia Dimensions breast tomosynthesis system at this week's RSNA 2011 meeting in Chicago.
