Southwest X-Ray, an outpatient services provider in El Paso, Texas, has installed Salem, NH-based Gamma Medica’s LumaGEM Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI) system. Southwest said it will employ the system as a secondary diagnostic tool for inconclusive mammography screenings in patients with dense breast tissue.
According to Gamma Medica, its MBI system is a groundbreaking technology that eliminates key shortcomings of traditional anatomical imaging technologies such as mammography and ultrasound by significantly improving early diagnosis of breast cancer in women with dense breast tissue.
Manchester-based EPE Corp. recently acquired the Teradyne Javelin 1004 Flying Probe Test System.
