"We pulled everyone together and brought them all along. The doctors, the IT people. The technologists came so they could actually work the equipment and see what it was like." "Selenia is the leading edge of breast imaging technology," Dr. Greenberg says, "it’s the total package. The Selenia detector plate is the most advanced on the market, and the images are of the highest quality. Selenia was the logical choice for our practice. The other vendors," she adds, "were clearly not up to Hologic." Read more * Caution. Investigational device. Limited by Federal Law to investigational use ** FDA clearance pending | ||
