Insight 3-D adds depth to breast anatomy visualization.



SonoCine
AWBUS
Like mammography, separating screening from diagnosis, SonoCiné AWBUSTM (Automated Whole Breast Ultrasound) is a device that projects moving images every 400 microns onto the reader’s maculae.
Using a 5cm probe from any high-resolution U.S. machine achieves complete superficial and deep coverage of both breasts and lower axilla, leading to easy recognition of 3-10mm masses in cine loops.

SonoCiné AWBUS is fast and doesn’t use 3-D because masses must first be found before they’re diagnosed. For more information, please visit us at www.SonoCine.com.
