Koning Breast CT, the Company’s cornerstone product, is focused on a growing worldwide women’s health issue… the early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer.
Koning Breast CT System was introduced at RSNA 2006. The meeting was attended by over 60,000 medical professionals and imaging specialists from all over the globe. Visitors were most impressed with image quality and extent of diagnostic information produced by the system. Its unique horizontal gantry permits comfortable patient positioning with modular positioning inserts to accommodate various body parts. The system provides unparalleled high spatial and true isotropic resolution at lower dose levels than current CT units.
Image viewing is both 2D multi-slice, multi-planer viewing and full 3D visualization. In a small survey of RSNA participants, image quality was rated as excellent (96%) and system performance was rated as better than current modalities (71%).
Utilizing an exam table and a horizontal CT gantry for comfortable prone positioning of the patient without compression of the breast tissue, Koning Breast CT captures hundreds of volumetric images in a 10 second rotation creating “true” 3D images and cross sectional slices. Compared to current 2D breast imaging technologies Koning Breast CT virtually eliminates tissue overlap and superimposition of structures which is often responsible for failure to diagnose breast cancer early...when it is most treatable.
*Koning Cone Beam CT is not cleared for sale in the USA.
