Patent Awarded to the Design of TechniScan’s Unique 3-D Breast Imaging System

May 13, 2010 By Bio-Medicine.Org

SALT LAKE CITY, May 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — A newly
awarded U.S. Patent will protect TechniScan, Inc’s., (OTC
Bulletin Board: TSNI) novel way to image, biopsy and treat breast
cancer.

U.S. Patent 7,699,783 B2 titled “Method for Imaging and Treating
a Breast” covers the company’s design of a 3-D, Warm Bath
Ultrasound™ system that images while a woman lies prone on a
table with her breast comfortably immersed in a warm water,
state-of-the art scanning system.

Since she is lying on a table with her breast through an
opening, the breast is in a pendant, uncompressed position that
allows for a true three-dimensional image to be constructed.
 

“Imaging of the non-compressed pendant breast, similar to
positioning for breast MRI, provides reproducible, 3-D anatomically
accurate detail,” said Yuri
Parisky
, M.D., medical imaging director at Mammoth Hospital
in Calif. “It is the ideal position to image the breast.”

A vital element of the new patent is the table design of the
Warm Bath Ultrasound™ (WBU™) system, which rises above
the water bath tank after the scan. This functionality has three
key benefits: The woman remains on the same table for diagnostics
and treatment, it maintains the known position of the tumor or
lesion and allows the three-dimensional image to be utilized to
guide treatment instruments.

“In essence, our WBU system provides a 3-D navigational map of
the breast, and this could be useful to breast surgeons,
radiologists and oncologists,” said Barry
Hanover
, chief operating officer at TechniScan and one of
the inventors of the system. “The fact that our table can also be
raised, with the breast maintain
