QUANTASON

Quantason has developed a revolutionary, next-generation bi-modal (US/IDUS™) platform technology which fundamentally changes the utilization of conventional ultrasound both as a modality for diagnostic imaging and as an active screening method. Quantason's patented and patent pending technology expands the capabilities of conventional ultrasound systems by combining anatomical 2-D imaging with proprietary real-time stimulation paradigms to image, detect, locate in 3-D, and classify micron-size... target(s) - previously conceived to be outside of conventional ultrasound capabilities - based on their unique response signature(s). Quantason's technology is sensitive to tissue characteristics and material properties which are clinically associated with disease states, such as markers of breast premalignant lesions (clusters and grouped microcalcifications), which may not be visible in traditional ultrasonic and mammographic images.More
