“Delphinus is leading the way in the fight against breast cancer with its groundbreaking SoftVue platform. I look forward to working with our great team to bring its benefits to more patients and women’s health centers across the country,” Scott White said.
SoftVue, a 3D whole breast ultrasound tomography system for screening dense breasts, was approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in October 2021. When paired with mammography SoftVue has been shown to identify up to 20 percent more cancers while also reducing false positives and decreasing unnecessary call-backs and biopsies in women with dense breasts.
Dense breast tissue (fibrous tissue that can hide cancerous lesions on mammogram) is common, affecting 40 percent of women and making them four times more likely to develop breast cancer. Compounding the increased risk, dense breast tissue like cancer, typically appears white on a mammogram, making it more challenging to detect cancer early.
SoftVue was developed to address the unmet clinical need for early breast cancer detection in individuals with dense breast tissue and provides a new annual screening solution for this population. The system identifies more cancers, with fewer callbacks, using a proprietary TriAD™ (Triple Acoustic Detection) technology that effectively characterizes tissue by recording reflection, speed and direction of sound waves moving through breast tissue, unlike traditional ultrasound which utilizes only reflection. In addition, SoftVue is the only ultrasound-based breast imaging system that was approved by the FDA for same day screening as mammography for this population of women.
