Q. What is the GE ABUS Automated Breast Ultrasound System?The GE ABUS (Automated Breast Ultrasound System) is a state-of-the-art breast imaging system designed to improve breast cancer detection in dense breast tissue. Unlike traditional mammography, ABUS provides a detailed 3D view, making it easier to identify small, node-negative, invasive cancers that might be missed otherwise.

Q. How does the GE ABUS system work?The GE ABUS system uses advanced high-resolution ultrasound technology to create 3D images of the breast. This automated process ensures consistent, reproducible images, reducing operator dependency and improving diagnostic accuracy, especially in dense breast tissue.

Q. Who should consider an ABUS exam?Women with dense breast tissue, which is common in about 40% of women, may benefit from an ABUS exam. Dense breast tissue can make it harder to detect cancer using mammography alone. The ABUS system is FDA-approved for supplemental screening in women with dense breasts.

Q. What are the benefits of using the GE ABUS system?The GE ABUS system improves breast cancer detection rates by 7% over mammography alone. It offers a comfortable and patient-friendly exam experience while providing high-resolution images that enhance clinical confidence in diagnosing breast lesions.

Q. How does the GE ABUS system aid in breast cancer diagnosis?The GE ABUS system helps in characterizing breast lesions, providing clinicians with a comprehensive view of the breast. This aids in accurate staging, treatment planning, and monitoring of breast cancer, improving patient outcomes.
