The Health Canada's Medical Devices Bureau has granted a Class 2 Medical Device License to SonoCine's Automated Whole Breast Acquisition Screening System (AWBASS).
SonoCine’s AWBASS when integrated with a standard ultrasound scanner forms an Automated Whole Breast Ultrasound (AWBU) screening system.
The SonoCiné AWBASS provides computer controlled automatic acquisition and subsequent dynamic review of closely spaced consecutive 2D images of the entire breast and lower axilla for the early detection of mammographically occult breast cancers in asymptomatic women.
SonoCine CEO Karsten Damgaard-Iversen said their users continue to report on the high cancer detection and low recall rates that their proprietary image acquisition and dynamic review process enables them to consistently achieve.
