Breast cancer is a global health issue, affecting millions of women. Despite being more manageable when detected early, the current detection methods, specifically mammography, fall short. Mammography fails to detect 35% of breast cancers, a percentage that jumps to 70% in women with denser breast tissues. Hence, the medical field urgently requires advanced tools to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment of this devastating disease. Now, a groundbreaking artificial intelligence (AI) software, offering unparalleled clarity in breast imaging, promises to revolutionize early breast cancer detection and treatment.

Koning Corporation’s (Norcross, GA, USA) has launched its new proprietary AI software that integrates seamlessly with its existing breast CT imaging platform. The software generates high-resolution, 3D images that contribute to improved accuracy and facilitate earlier diagnosis. The Koning Vera Breast CT is an innovative 3D breast imaging device that produces accurate 3D images of the breast, significantly enhancing the visualization and evaluation of breast tissue. The system also improves the patient examination experience by offering a quick, 7-second scan without painful compression, and radiation levels comparable to a diagnostic mammogram.

Koning's new AI software goes beyond just improving image resolution on the Vera Breast CT. It also drastically reduces noise and artifacts that could interfere with image interpretation, thus allowing radiologists to make more precise diagnoses. Despite the existing debate over AI's role in healthcare, Koning's AI software is designed to sustainably enhance physicians' existing capabilities. With the continuing evolution of AI-enhanced healthcare, Koning is prepared to integrate these advancements into its platform for the benefit of present and future users of Koning Breast CT.

"We are proud to introduce this revolutionary AI-enhanced Breast CT software," said Lutao Ning, Koning CEO. "This update to our current platform is set to redefine the standards of image quality in breast CT imaging, empowering radiologists to detect even the smallest irregularities at the earliest stages."
