Imaging Diagnostic Systems, Inc., showed CT Laser Mammography technology at the "Progress in Diagnostics of Breast Cancer" Symposium in Szczawnica, Poland, last week. The symposium focused on state-of- the-art devices for medical imaging of the breast and standards for biopsy, among other topics.

The Computed Tomography Laser Mammography (CTLM®) system uses lasers to image the breast in a non-invasive procedure. CTLM images blood hemoglobin and the process of neoangiogenesis or new vessel formation which is often associated with breast cancer. Since it is operated by lasers instead of x-rays, CTLM does not pose health risks associated with conventional mammography machines.

The symposium was organized by the Krakow Branch of the Maria Sklodowska- Curie Memorial Institute of Oncology in conjunction with the Krakow Foundation for the Oncology Surgery Clinic.

Imaging Diagnostic Systems exhibited clinical cases from global user sites and will feature a presentation of the CT Laser Mammography system's unique breast cancer detection capabilities. IDSI is represented in Poland by its exclusive distributor, EDO MED, of Warsaw, Poland and has operating systems at the Regional Center of Oncology, Bydgoszcz, Poland, and the Gliwice branch of the Maria Sklodowska-Curie Memorial Institute of Oncology, Gliwice, Poland, under clinical collaboration agreements.
