Abella also features enhanced viewing protocols validated by some of the nation's leading breast imaging experts.  Abella viewing protocols offer the industry's most advanced approach to reviewing Automated Breast Ultrasound exams.  Initial clinical experience with Abella workflow demonstrates that trained clinicians can consistently and accurately review ABUS exams in three minutes or less with a high degree of clinical confidence.

"The somo-v?® Platinum and Abella?„? Workflow represent a significant step forward for the somo-v ABUS system, which is the first and only Automated Breast Ultrasound System designed from the ground up specifically for breast screening," said Ron Ho, U-Systems president and CEO.  "Featuring breakthrough new image acquisition and workflow technologies developed from our extensive clinical experience with more than 16,000 ABUS exams, the ABUS system now has a level of  efficiency and clinical confidence never before seen in Automated Breast Ultrasound.  All this and a refreshing new look too."

Proven Clinical Performance

The somo-v ABUS incorporates the latest, state-of-the-industry automated ultrasound technology delivering uncompromised image quality, streamlining clinical workflow, and providing unprecedented clinical confidence.  FDA cleared for diagnostic use, the somo-v ABUS was developed as the foundation technology for U-Systems' ground-breaking, prospective SOMO-INSIGHT Clinical Study, the largest clinical study ever conducted by an ultrasound company. The Study is designed to evaluate whether ABUS, in combination with digital mammography is more sensitive than a routine screening mammogram alone in detecting breast cancer in women with dense breast tissue.
