GE Healthcare has submitted first module of premarket approval application (PMA) for its GE Breast Tomosynthesis to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The first modular application includes device description and non-clinical information including detector performance evaluation and phantom testing.

The GE Breast Tomosynthesis is an add-on option for the Senographe Essential.
