Featured Research

Cone Beam Breast Computed Tomography (CBBCT) Scanner
The Cone Beam Breast CT system consists of a cushioned exam table with a cutout in the middle. A woman lies on her belly, suspending her breasts one at a time through the opening. The CBBCT takes 300 images by circling the breasts for about 10 seconds, emitting a radiation dose that's comparable to mammography.
