Invision Sally Jobe Introduces New Breast Cancer Screening Technology to Denver

Unlike traditional ultrasound, SBU is a computer-aided system equipped with a mechanical arm to aid the technologist in acquiring images of the breast. Advanced software is then used to create a video loop of the images for interpretation, giving the radiologist a unique view of the breast.
