Tri-Cities Tech Business Update
KGH and AIT partner on medical technology
Kennewick General Hospital in Kennewick, Wash., and Richland, Wash.-based Advanced Imaging Technologies have teamed up to provide a cutting-edge, automated ultrasound technology aimed at improving breast cancer detection. The system combines through-transmission ultrasound with holography to deliver real-time, enhanced three-dimensional images of breast tissue, enabling physicians to see more detailed information that can positively impact diagnosis of abnormalities sooner, especially in women with dense breast tissue. In addition, the ARIA System can be used to monitor a patient's progress during chemotherapy treatment of cancer. The technology is in use at the KGH Medical Mall in Kennewick.
