CapeRay

Our product is built on a platform known as the PantoScanner where the prefix "panto-" comes from Greek and means "all". The PantoScanner will be produced and sold in three variations:

1. an entry-level system, known as Soteria (the Greek goddess of deliverance from harm), which is a full-field digital mammography (FFDM) system based on an X-ray scanner;
2. a dual-modality system, known as Aceso (the Greek goddess who personifies the healing process), which combines an FFDM X-ray machine with automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) technology; and
3. a top-of-the-range system, known as Aegle (the Greek goddess who personifies the glowing health of the human body), which combines FFDM, ABUS and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), thus enabling the simultaneous capture of 3D images of the breast using an X-ray machine and an ultrasound machine.

While there are products on the market that incorporate FFDM, ABUS and DBT separately, there are none that have all three technologies in one device. The PantoScanner is based on X-ray scanner technology that has already been patented (US patent number 6,788,758) as well as pending patents that cover the integration of X-ray machines with ultrasound machines in a single breast screening system. The accompanying video illustrates the movements of the Aegle model, including tomosynthesis.
