    Standardise Breast Density Analysis

    Higher breast density is known to increase a woman’s risk for breast cancer.1 The need for accurate, unbiased analysis is therefore critical. Powered by machine learning, Quantra technology software analyses both 2D™ and tomosynthesis images for distribution and texture of parenchymal tissue. It categorises breasts in four breast composition categories consistent with guidance from the American College of Radiation (ACR) BI-RADS Atlas 5th Edition.2

    Better Risk Prediction

    In addition to volume, pattern and texture of fibroglandular tissue may play just as an important role in mammographic cancer risk prediction.3-5 By analysing and categorising breast texture and pattern, our technology can deliver the accurate information you need to achieve more consistent and reliable scoring and confidently design patient-specific screening.

    Unbiased Assessment

    Objective machine learning algorithm that assigns breast density category based on analysis of breast tissue texture and patterns.

    Standardisation

    Elevate the standard of care and standardise reporting across the whole radiology practice.

    Unlock the Advantage of Time

    The Breast Health Continuum of Care offers integrated solutions for clinical confidence, workflow efficiency and compassionate patient care. Giving more women more time in better health.

    Quantra Technology is part of the Hologic Screening & Diagnosis Solution.

    Design Intent & Clinical Performance

    Quantra software’s unbiased algorithm analyse both 2D and tomosynthesis images to support your analysis by:

    • Overcoming subjectivity in visual assessment, providing more consistent, and more reliable scoring.*
    • Elevating the standard of care and standardises reporting.
    • Facilitating patient management protocols for supplemental imaging.
