Elscint Tomography · raw details

Elscint Tomography develops medical diagnostic equipment for breast imaging. The company's technology is based on Linear Velocity Imaging Tomography, invented by Dr. Avraham Suhami.

This proprietary technology enables MDs and health clinics worldwide to offer women of all ages more effective breast scans with no exposure to harmful X-ray radiation and no breast compression, even with imaging of the pendant breast up to the rib cage. The technology allows for breast scans even at a young age or during pregnancy without fear of the cumulative effects of ionizing radiation.

The 3D imaging can be performed in approximately one minute and offers a clearer image than X-ray imaging due to higher contrast. In the event of suspected malignancy, the technology also provides an opportunity to delay surgery by measuring the growth rate of the tumor in order to assess its aggressiveness and/or attempting in situ growth elimination by cryotherapy, radiation, and/or chemotherapy.

The principles of Linear Velocity Imaging Tomography have been confirmed in clinical measurements performed at Rambam M.C. in Israel under an IRB approved Helsinki protocol and submitted for publication.
