Imaging Diagnostic Systems, Inc., a pioneer in laser optical breast cancer imaging systems, announced that CT Laser Mammography (CTLM(R)) results were exhibited at the 4th Congress of the World Society for Breast Health in Tianjin, China, October 18th - 21st.
The Congress attracted more than 500 breast health experts from 23 different countries and offered 29 clinical and academic presentations on breast health, including epidemiology, screening, diagnosis, prevention, and the treatment of breast cancer.
IMDS local representatives exhibited clinical imaging cases from international sites. Several meeting attendees visited the recent CTLM installation at the Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital, where clinical studies are now underway.
Explained Tim Hansen, IMDS Chief Executive Officer: "Exhibiting at the Congress allowed us to support our global commercialization efforts while highlighting the research that is being conducted at the Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital as well as at Beijing Friendship Hospital. Having an operating CTLM system in the same city helped reinforce our messages to those seriously considering our approach. China represents a significant market; CTLM solves real clinical problems for these users and their patients."
The Congress was organized by the World Society for Breast Health, the Chinese Oncology Society and the Chinese Medical Association, along with the Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital, which served as the local organizer. Previous World Society for Breast Health Congresses have been held in Istanbul, Turkey; Budapest, Hungary; and Tokyo, Japan.
