Expert reviewers from around the world, in conjunction with the Edison Award Steering Committee, reviewed over 350 nominations and determined Imagio\u00ae to be among the most elite submissions to be considered for the annual competition. Final winners will be announced in April.<\/p>\n<p>Seno\u2019s Chief Executive Officer, Tom Umbel, commented, \u201cWe are honored to be considered amongst some of the greatest innovating companies of our time. \u00a0We truly believe that Imagio\u00ae can make a difference in both diagnostic confidence and patient experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Breast biopsy procedures caused by false-positive diagnostic assessments in the United States cost the healthcare system more than $2 billion per year. \u00a0Seno\u2019s Imagio\u00ae technology could mitigate that with its non-invasive OA\/US technology to help physicians better differentiate between benign and malignant breast lesions in real-time, helping providers characterize and differentiate masses that may\u2014or may not\u2014require more invasive diagnostic evaluation.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s OA\/US technology combines laser optics and grayscale ultrasound to provide fused functional and anatomical breast imaging. The opto-acoustic images provide a unique blood map in and around breast masses, while the ultrasound provides a traditional anatomical image. Through the appearance or absence of two hallmark indicators of cancer \u2013 angiogenesis and deoxygenation \u2013 Seno Medical has shown that the Imagio\u00ae OA\/US Breast Imaging System will be a more effective tool to help radiologists confirm or rule out malignancy compared to traditional diagnostic imaging modalities \u2013 without exposing patients to potentially harmful ionizing radiation (x-rays) or contrast agents. In addition to the novel imaging provided by the Imagio\u00ae System, Seno includes an artificial intelligence (AI) decision-support tool (the SenoGram\u00ae) to aid physicians in interpreting the new images that, along with training and certification, helps radiologists make the transition from ultrasound alone to OA\/US imaging.<br \/>\nThe 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, Inc.<\/strong>\u00a0is a San Antonio, Texas-based medical imaging company committed to the development and commercialization of a new modality in cancer diagnosis: opto-acoustic imaging. Approved by the US FDA in January 2021, Seno Medical\u2019s Imagio\u00ae Breast Imaging System fuses opto-acoustic technology with ultrasound (OA\/US) to generate real-time functional and anatomical images of the breast.
