Learn more about the role
of technology in personalised
breast cancer screening and diagnosis at ECR 2022
The European Commission Initiative on Breast Cancer (ECIBC) guidelines on breast cancer screening and
diagnosis now recommend the use of either digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) or digital mammography in screening.¹
In addition, the use of DBT is recommended for women with high mammographic breast density detected in previous
screening exams.² Despite being recognised as a risk factor for breast cancer,³ breast density is often still assessed
visually/subjectively by radiologists with high variability in scoring⁴ and there are no aligned breast density assessment and
management protocols. Identifying women at high risk, such as those with dense breasts, means they can be prioritised
for more frequent or personalised screening, which in turn improves patient outcomes.
Technology has a key role to play in implementing the
ECIBC guidelines and personalised screening
Hologic’s 3D Mammography™ DBT exam has
revolutionised breast cancer detection with better, earlier breast cancer detection for women of all ages and breast densities.
Hologic 3D Mammography finds up to 65% more invasive breast
cancers⁵ and reduces recalls of patients by up to 40%,⁶ compared to 2D mammography alone. It is the only mammogram approved in
the USA by the FDA as superior to standard 2D mammography for routine breast cancer screening in dense breasts.⁷
Breast imaging technologies that unlock the advantage of time by improving clinical workflow efficiency
3DQuorum™ Imaging Technology utilises Genius AI™ powered analytics to uniquely
reconstruct high-resolution 3D Mammography data to produce 6mm SmartSlices. With no compromise in image quality, sensitivity or
accuracy, 3DQuorum™ speeds up reading time by an hour a day, reducing the number of images to review by
66%.⁸,⁹* 3DQuorum™ also reduces the typical
Hologic high-resolution tomosynthesis and synthesized 2D study size by over 50%, bringing the storage space
and network impact back down to that of standard
resolution 3D™ imaging.⁸
Hologic’s Quantra™ 2.2 software uses a machine-learning algorithm to analyse
breast pattern and texture, providing scores based on ACR BIRADS® Atlas Fifth Edition
classifications. By analysing and categorising each patient’s breast texture and pattern,
Quantra™ delivers the accurate information needed to achieve more consistent, more reliable scoring and confidently
design patient-specific screening pathways.
Hologic is proud to be leading the way in advancing AI-powered solutions for
Breast Health which enable earlier and more accurate diagnosis and treatment. Learn more by watching our video.
We look forward to welcoming you to our booth located on the first floor of the ACV in Foyer O, at ECR 2022!
