Hologic 3D Breast Image Device Deemed Safe by FDA (HOLX)


Sep 27, 2010 (SmarTrend News Watch via COMTEX) -- In a unanimous 13-0 vote, the
FDA said that Hologic's (NASDAQ:HOLX) 3D mammography device is safe and
effective noting that the benefits of this new device outweigh the risks. The
company believes that its new Selenia Dimensions 3D device is a new method for
screening and diagnosing breast cancer that, when used with conventional 2D
methods, can improve overall cancer detection rates.

Co-Founder and CTO Jay Stein said, "The system is designed to increase accuracy
when screening women for the presence of cancerous tissue, and to enable a more
precise characterization of suspicious lesions. I speak for all of Hologic in
voicing great satisfaction that the FDA Panel has weighed in so positively in
favor of this valuable new tool in the battle to limit breast cancer mortality."
