Infrared Sciences Commences Clinical Study Of Sentinel Breast Scan At Cornell Weill Medical College
Early breast cancer detection system being tested at major medical facility
Stony Brook, NY (PRWEB) July 13, 2005 -- Infrared Sciences Corporation (ISC)
announced today that they have commenced a Clinical Study with the New York
Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Medical College of Cornell University in New York
City. The protocol will focus on determining the adjunctive effectiveness of the
Infrared Sciences Sentinel BreastScan imaging system for early breast cancer
detection. Study patients will have been scheduled for a breast biopsy, either
by mammography or ultrasound. The Study will correlate the outcomes of
radiology, pathology, and the Sentinel BreastScan.
“We are pleased and
excited to commence this study with Cornell, and we believe that the information
obtained from the Sentinel system will prove it to be a highly effective
adjunctive tool in the war against breast cancer” explained ISC Vice President,
Matthew Campisi. “The Sentinel system provides a new physiological dimension to
breast health information that is not available from any other fully
non-invasive testing method.”
Sentinel BreastScan is a painless,
touchless, non-invasive procedure offered to women of any age. The technology is
based on advanced digital infrared imaging that is combined with sophisticated
software employing artificial intelligence techniques. Immediately following the
4-minute test, it provides the doctor with a fully-interpreted, objective
report. It is the only system like it in the world.
Sentinel BreastScan
is intended to be an adjunctive procedure and does not replace mammography or
ultrasound, or stand alone as a single test that can determine overall breast
health.
