KENTUCKY, USA — In a groundbreaking milestone, Baptist Health Hardin has become the first hospital in the world to begin in-human clinical trials of a revolutionary breast imaging technology that could dramatically improve how breast cancer is detected and diagnosed.

The prototype was created by Calidar, Inc., the investigational 4D Mammography system uses X-ray diffraction to read molecular level “fingerprints” in breast tissue – something not offered through current imaging methods.

Traditional mammography relies on shape and density while this system identifies the composition of tissue, potentially enabling earlier and more accurate cancer detection.

Calidar’s CEO Dr. Stefan Stryker said no mammogram is perfect, but this is a huge step in curbing the false positives.
