GE Healthcare, a unit of General Electric Company (NYSE: GE) landed FDA 510(k) clearance for its SenoBright contrast enhanced spectral mammography for breast cancer diagnosis.
Launched in 2010, the SenoBright system is already used in France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Germany, Austria and Japan.
"Since 1965, GE Healthcare has made significant progress in providing solutions for breast cancer detection and diagnosis that really bring a change to people’s lives," GE Healthcare VP Anne LeGrand said in prepared remarks.
The SenoBright system is part of GE’s renewed focus on breast cancer as part of a $1 billion investment into oncology research over the next five years.
The first part of its initiative was GE Healthcare’s recently unveiled SenoCase ultra-portable mammography device, which aims to combine mobility and affordability to provide breast cancer screening in underserved areas, especially in emerging markets.
