IMAGIO® | Reducing negative biopsies
No one wants to miss a cancer.
Clinical studies of the Imagio® Breast Imaging System have demonstrated:
- Greater confidence in determining whether a mass is benign or malignant1
- Increased specificity to more than 50 percent2, with no significant loss of sensitivity
- Better visualization of presence, absence and morphology of tumor neoangiogenesis than mammography or CDU

Higher confidence creates simplified and streamlined clinical pathways.
On average, 70-80% of biopsies are false positive — wasting precious resources and increasing patient anxiety. Imagio® has the potential to reverse the negative biopsy ratio without missing cancer. Imagio® has the potential to bypass many of the additional, inconclusive exams to reach a definitive diagnosis.

“Especially in large markets and large cities, where hospital systems compete against each other, it's nice to be able to say that our radiology practice offers the newset technology, including cutting-edge opto-acoustic imaging. When it comes to healthcare, women seek out technologies that can help them. This could be one.”
