Collaboration to study advanced breast imaging applications.
2004 AUG 5 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Hologic, Inc., (HOLX) has entered into a collaborative research agreement with the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) to study a variety of advanced breast imaging applications.
Hologic and UCLA will collaborate on a number of research projects to assess current uses of breast imaging modalities and to explore potential methods for improved screening and diagnostic applications.
The research will assess digital mammography workflow versus the conventional film method, the uses and efficiencies of a dedicated breast ultrasound system in a breast imaging practice, and the effectiveness of computer-aided-detection in breast magnetic resonance imaging.
Additional areas of research will focus on new mammography technologies that will undergo clinical testing and be evaluated for commercial release.
"Our relationship with UCLA holds great promise for the further development and evaluation of digital mammography and assessment of its relationship with other established and emerging breast imaging modalities," said Jack W. Cumming, chairman and chief executive officer for Hologic, Inc.
"The emergence of digital mammography has created the need for specific research to support and strengthen its role as a viable and potentially better technology for the early detection of breast cancer, particularly when used in combination with complementary technologies."
At UCLA, the collaboration is headed by Dr. Lawrence ...
