Hologic’s AI-Driven Breast Cancer Screening Technology Earns MedTech Breakthrough Award
May 8, 2025
Next-generation Genius AI® Detection PRO mammography solution delivers new features and can improve diagnostic accuracy by acting as a second set of eyes for radiologists, reviewing cases and flagging potential cancers.
MARLBOROUGH, Mass., May 8, 2025 — Hologic, Inc. (Nasdaq: HOLX) today announced that its Genius AI Detection PRO solution has been named “Best New Imaging Technology Solution” by MedTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that conducts an annual awards program recognizing the top companies, technologies and products in the global digital health and medical technology market.

“Receiving the MedTech Breakthrough Award for Genius AI Detection PRO is an honor and a testament to our team’s unwavering commitment to relentless innovation in women's health,” said Mark Horvath, President of Breast and Skeletal Health Solutions. “Guided by ongoing feedback from our customers and the radiologist community, we will continue to advance this AI technology, bringing even greater accuracy and efficiency to the reading workflow and supporting better outcomes for patients.”
Breast cancer has a five-year survival rate of about 99% when caught early,1 so regular mammography screenings remain key to detecting the disease when it’s most treatable. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) to interpret the results of these tests is rapidly becoming an important tool for physicians in the fight against breast cancer.
Trained using large, high-quality databases of mammograms, including both benign and biopsy-proven cancers, the Genius AI Detection PRO algorithm looks at 2D and 3D mammography images and detects areas that are suspicious for breast cancer. Each detected finding receives a score from 1 to 10, where the higher the score, the higher the level of suspicion for cancer. For each mammogram the AI-powered technology presents individual scores for each finding, an overall score per breast and an overall score per case for radiologists' review.
The new Genius AI Detection PRO solution — which expands on Hologic’s flagship Genius AI Detection 2.0 Solution — brings to bear intuitive case and lesion scoring and pre-populated exam reports designed to accelerate image review and save radiologists’ time. It offers a deep-learning 2D and 3D algorithm that improves specificity3 by using a patient’s prior exam in the current exam’s analysis, and an all-in-one interface that conveniently includes deep-learning breast density scoring along with key patient and mammogram quality information.2
To further aid radiologists in assessing cases, the Genius AI Detection PRO integrates a red-yellow-green color-coding system.2 Green cases signify that the AI has assessed a low likelihood of breast cancer, while red indicates a high likelihood. This intuitive scoring system was shown to reduce radiologists’ overall reading time by 24%.2 The AI platform also helps with interoperability by offering an all-in-one user interface2 through an application that can be loaded onto any reading workstation.
This year’s MedTech Breakthrough Awards program saw a record-breaking number of nominations from leading companies and startups across more than 18 countries. As a global leader in women’s health, Hologic is honored to receive this award and remains committed to pushing the boundaries of science to define the future of breast cancer screening and reduce the burden of this disease that impacts so many lives.
