Breast CT developer Koning has landed a deal with Chelsea Industries to install 10 of its scanners in Southeast Asia.
In announcing the deal, Koning noted that 80% of Asian women have dense breast tissue, which can confound traditional x-ray-based mammography equipment. Koning believes that its breast CT technology is suitable for women with both dense and fatty breast tissue.
The deal will start with four Koning breast CT scanners being installed in Hong Kong and then two per quarter in subsequent months.
