In this limited imaging study, using the SenoGram<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0AI decision support tool provided an observed 100 percent sensitivity and specificity at 64.3 percent. The combination of opto-acoustic imaging and AI provided by the Imagio<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0System helped distinguish masses, providing functional biologic data and imaging appearance in an efficient, effective, and cost-conscious manner. According to the authors, \u201cThe functional imaging of OA\/US together with the DST (SenoGram<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>) does offer an objective and tightly calibrated method of predicting FNRs below 2.0% and even at and below 0.5%\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the first real world use study of the market-ready Imagio<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Breast Imaging System and confirms that in day-to-day clinical practice, OA imaging is providing breast imagers with the diagnostic confidence they\u2019ve been seeking,\u201d commented Tom Umbel, CEO of Seno Medical. \u201cOur technology allows for a simplified care pathway that improves patient care and helps reduce unnecessary exams and costs of diagnosing breast cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Opto-acoustic imaging is a category-defining technology that combines functional (opto-acoustics or photoacoustics), anatomic (ultrasound) and morphologic information using light (laser optics or opto-acoustics) and sound waves plus proprietary artificial intelligence (SenoGram<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>) decision support to produce high-resolution, high-contrast images for clinicians. The result is a diagnostic imaging modality that delivers functional information regarding suspicious breast masses, increasing confidence regarding the need for invasive breast cancer diagnostic biopsies.<\/p>\n<p>Imagio<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0is non-invasive, has no ionizing radiation, does not use contrast agents, and does not require the compression required in mammography. Imagio<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0provides clinicians with real-time information and the ability to provide same-day results. Incorporating Imagio<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0into a center can improve workflow efficiency and help lower stress and anxiety in patients.<\/p>\n<p>The system is indicated for use by trained and qualified healthcare providers to evaluate palpable and non-palpable breast abnormalities in adult patients who are referred for diagnostic imaging breast work-up following clinical presentation or other imaging examinations such as screening mammography.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seno Medical Instruments<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Inc<\/strong>. is a San Antonio, Texas-based medical imaging company committed to improving the efficiency \u2013 and reducing the complexity \u2013 of breast cancer diagnostics through its new modality: opto-acoustic imaging. Approved by the U.S. FDA in January 2021, with supplemental approval in June 2022, Seno\u2019s Imagio<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Breast Imaging System is a new modality combining light, sound, and A.I. to provide information not previously available to the breast imager. The result is substantially improved confidence in diagnostic results that leads to real-time assessments, streamlined care pathways, and reductions in false- positive biopsies. The company was recognized by Frost &amp; Sullivan with its 2023 Enabling Technology Leadership award for its innovative approach to diagnostic imaging.
