SmartBreast Corporation (Mars, PA) has developed a cutting-edge medical scanner called SmartBreast™ that aims to save lives, reduce cost, and mitigate suffering through early breast cancer detection. Utilizing Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI) technology, SmartBreast™ is able to detect breast cancer earlier in women with dense breasts, who comprise about 40% of American, European and African women and 70% of Asian women. MBI sees through dense breast tissue and finds cancers that mammography may miss in the early stages when cancer is curable.
