Experience Revolutionary 3D Breast Ultrasound in Seconds

SOFIA 3D Breast Ultrasound

SOFIA represents a leap forward in breast cancer screening for dense breast patients. This innovative system employs a unique scanning approach, addressing economic and logistical challenges associated with whole breast ultrasound. SOFIA swiftly captures a high-resolution volume of the entire breast in mere seconds.

The magic behind this speed lies in SOFIA's full-field radial scanning method and its extra-long linear ultrasound array, combining to provide an effective field of view capable of imaging most dense breasts in a single volume. This exceptional speed not only enhances operational efficiency but also ensures a comfortable and private examination experience, vital for patient acceptance.

QUICK, COMFORTABLE, AND PRIVATE 3D BREAST ULTRASOUND

SOFIA reimagines the breast ultrasound process, delivering bilateral breast ultrasound scans that rival any modality in terms of speed and comfort. Central to this innovation is SOFIA's unique scanning cone, thoughtfully integrated into its comfortable scan bed, housing Hitachi's extra-long linear probe.

During the examination, the patient lies in a prone position, placing her breast with the nipple in the center. In a single 30-second radial sweep, SOFIA collects a 3D volume dataset of the entire breast.

  • 30-second scan time per breast, allowing frequent scheduling
  • Automated and reproducible
  • Requires only a thin layer of ultrasound lotion—no additional disposables required
  • Intuitive touch-screen interface automates the scanning process
  • Patients can remain covered during the entire exam
  • No external compression required, relying on the patient’s body weight
  • Comfortable memory-foam bed lowers to 25 inches from the floor for easy access

STREAMLINED IMAGE INTERPRETATION

Efficiency and speed define SOFIA’s image interpretation process. Each breast is presented to the radiologist as a single, high-resolution DICOM-compatible dataset, interpreted in familiar planes. This streamlined approach significantly reduces review times.

  • Full-field radial views enable an average interpretation time of approximately one minute per breast
  • Viewing each breast in a single volume facilitates understanding of the relationship between the nipple, breast anatomy, and any suspicious regions of interest
  • Images are both acquired and viewed in the radial plane to maximize resolution
  • Multi-planar reconstruction allows simultaneous visualization of any mass or structure from multiple planes
  • Volume rendering provides intuitive visualization of any region of interest (ROI) and its relationship to other structures
  • Oblique-View Tool empowers radiologists with a “virtual transducer” for precise diagnostics

Bella’s Battle is proud to introduce SOFIA, bringing precision, efficiency, and comfort to breast cancer diagnostics, setting new standards in the field.
