Laser to address aesthetic concerns of patients
Alma Lasers, a global innovator of laser, light-based, radiofrequency and ultrasound solutions for the aesthetic and surgical markets announced the addition of the Harmony XL Pro platform to its product portfolio. The Harmony XL Pro platform consists of multiple modules offering powerful solutions for 6 major indications: Skin Remodeling, Vascular Lesions, Pigmented Lesions, Tone and Texture, Hair Removal and Acne. Each may be treated using a single technology or a combination of technologies and treatment approaches to achieve outstanding clinical results. The modules are designed to work independently or together as a single cohesive, harmonious system.
New breast CT system
Koning Corporation, announced that the FDA has approved their Koning Breast CT (KBCT) system and KBCT-guided biopsy bracket. KBCT is the first ever commercially available, 3D breast CT scanner designed specifically to image the entire breast with a single scan without compression of the breast tissue. The system acquires hundreds of images in ten seconds producing ‘true’ 3D images allowing a fast procedure with excellent patient comfort. Optional accessories for KBCT include a biopsy bracket to enable KBCT-guided breast biopsies of suspicious lesions, and a collimator which is used to limit the x-ray beam to the area of interest. The biopsy bracket provides 3D targeting at comparable or lower radiation exposure compared to stereotactic guided biopsy.
