Frequently Asked Questions
What is digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) or 3D mammography?
3D mammography is a breast cancer screening test that captures hundreds of images of each breast per patient, offering improved image quality and more information than traditional 2D mammography, which typically only generates four images per patient. 3D mammography offers women a number of benefits compared to 2D mammography, including improved cancer detection, with fewer false positives and unnecessary recalls, which can be stressful for patients.
What is ProFound AI?
ProFound AI is the first FDA-cleared 3D tomosynthesis software using AI. It rapidly and accurately analyzes each 3D mammogram image, detecting cancers with unrivaled accuracy and alerting radiologists if suspicious areas may warrant a closer look.
What is artificial intelligence?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an advanced form of computer science that allows computers to learn and work like humans. AI is used in healthcare to help doctors review large amounts of data more quickly and accurately.
Why is ProFound AI built on artificial intelligence?
AI enables ProFound AI to rapidly and accurately analyze each 3D mammogram image, detecting cancers with unrivaled accuracy. Trained with one of the largest available 3D mammography datasets, ProFound AI rapidly compares your mammography images against those it has learned from and alerts radiologists if suspicious areas may warrant a closer look.
How does this technology benefit women?
ProFound AI further maximizes the benefits 3D mammography offers to women. It acts as another pair of eyes for doctors and is clinically proven to improve cancer detection by 8%, while reducing false positives by 7%, compared to 3D mammography alone.
