Behind every ultrasound, there’s a human being.
A worried patient. Concerned family and friends. Women whose breast exam shows a suspicious lesion spend a lot of time worrying over the unknown. Understatement. With Koios DS, your radiologist has an accurate and immediate “second opinion” that reliably applies the power of machine learning. A smart ultrasound™ delivers more peace of mind.
Breast Cancer
- 1 in 8 U.S. women (or 12.4%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime
- It’s estimated in 2018, there will be about 266,000 NEW cases of invasive breast cancer diagnosed in the US alone.
- Early detection is critical to the more than 3.5 million survivors in the US today.
Dense Breasts
- 40% of women age 40 and over have dense breasts. Younger women are MORE likely to have dense breast tissue.
- Cancer is 4-6 times more likely in women with extremely dense breasts.
- Despite the importance of mammogram screening, mammograms miss more than 50% of the cancers present in women with dense breast tissue.
- Ultrasound will often see what was invisible on a mammogram.
- Getting a breast ultrasound can be critical to early detection and accurate diagnosis of breast cancer.
More Cancers & Fewer Benign Biopsies
- Every day in the US, physicians order more than 5,000 breast tissue biopsies.
- More than 80% of results are benign, or “false positives.”
- Even with all the conservative steps taken, more than 350 cancers are missed every day.
- Improved diagnostic accuracy enabled by AI/machine learning and smart ultrasounds hold the promise of catching more cancers while reducing benign biopsies. Yes, both.
