CT Laser Mammography Technology Introduced in Mumbai, India

The first computed tomography (CT) laser mammography (CTLM) system has recently been installed at a national comprehensive cancer center in Mumbai, India.

Tata Memorial Hospital is participating in the marketing campaign and consumer awareness program created by Imaging Diagnostic Systems, Inc. (IDSI; Plantation, FL, USA) local distributor Anto Puthiry, the managing director of High-Tech Healthcare Equipments, Pvt. Ltd. (Preetam Nagar, Allahabad). The hospital will introduce IDSI's CTLM system and its ability to detect breast cancer for the women in the region. Industry leaders in radiology, as well as patients, will be invited to the hospital to view the CTLM system and receive an introduction to CTLM technology and its images.

Earlier in 2010, Dr. Muhammad Emad, of Saqr Hospital, Ras al-Khaimah, United Arab Emirates (UAE) gave a presentation to Tata Memorial Hospital on behalf of the CTLM system. As one of the first physicians to work with the CTLM system, he is regarded as the pioneer in the implementation of CTLM as part of his breast cancer management plan. Dr. Emad's presentation focused on his personal research and the capable performance of the CTLM system in detecting breast cancer among his patients.

"We are very pleased with the installation at Tata Memorial Hospital, and with their collaboration on the marketing campaign,” stated Mr. Puthiry. "It is very gratifying that India's national comprehensive cancer center is working with the system and with our team to introduce leaders in radiology and patients to CTLM technology.”

Tata Memorial was founded in 1941 and is located in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. The hospital is recognized as the leading comprehensive cancer institute for all of India for prevention, treatment, education, and research on breast cancer.
