Hologic, which was ranked this month as the highest-scoring imaging equipment manufacturer for mammography in the 2016 Best in KLAS: Medical Equipment report for the seventh consecutive year, will showcase its complete line of screening and interventional products at RSNA, including several key products highlighted in clinical studies this year:

The Genius™ 3D MAMMOGRAPHY™ exam, only available on the Selenia® Dimensions® system, is Hologic's breast tomosynthesis exam, which has been shown to reduce recall rates, increase invasive cancer detection and find invasive cancer earlier through a significant body of literature published this year in major research journals, including JAMA, JAMA Oncology, and The Breast. 3,4,5


Low Dose 3D MAMMOGRAHY™ exams with C-View™ Software result in less time under compression, increasing patient comfort at a lower radiation dose. Recent clinical studies, published this year in Lancet Oncology and Radiology, have shown that screening exams using C-View 2D images result in comparable clinical performance to traditional 3D MAMMOGRAPHY™ exams.6,7

I-View™ Software for Contrast-Enhanced 2D Digital Mammography (CEDM) exams are performed following a mammogram and/or ultrasound, as an alternative to breast MRI, to learn more about a suspicious area and determine surgical therapy for breast cancer patients. Recent literature published on CEDM in the Annals of Surgical Oncology illustrates the promising potential for facilities' bottom lines, as well as the patient experience, by using I-View software. 8
Additionally, Hologic will offer several 3D MAMMOGRAPHY™ exam-related educational events at RSNA:

RSNA Satellite Symposium, "Addressing the Clinical Need for 3DTM Breast Biopsy Technologies: Prone and Upright Solutions," on Sunday, November 27 from 1:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
60-Minute Hands-On Workshop, "3D™ Image Guided Prone Breast Biopsy: A Seasoned Perspective," on Sunday, November 27 from 10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. and Monday, November 28 from 12:15 p.m. – 1:15 p.m.
Advanced 75-Minute Hands-On Workshop, "Optimizing Tomosynthesis: Strategies for Improving Mammographic Outcomes," on Monday, November 28 from 3:30 p.m. – 4:45 p.m. and Tuesday, November 29 from 12:00 p.m. – 1:15 p.m.
RSNA is an international society of radiologists, medical physicists and other medical professionals with 55,000 members from more than 140 countries. The RSNA Annual Meeting is expected to attract more than 60,000 attendees.

For additional information on Hologic's Affirm prone biopsy system or other solutions, visit Hologic's booth at RSNA, located in the McCormick Place South Building – Level 3, Exhibit # 4111. For each station visited in the Hologic booth, the Company will donate $1 to Bright Pink, the only national non-profit focused on the prevention and early detection of breast and ovarian cancer in young women, as part of its "Explore for Charity" program.
