Apart from skin cancers, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the US. It accounts for about 1 in 3 of all new female cancers each year. Over 70% of cancers occur in dense breasts, which are found predominantly in Asian women. GE HealthCare states that about one third of cancers in dense breasts go undetected due to shortcomings in standard mammography technology.

在美国，乳腺癌是女性除皮肤癌外最常见的癌症，约占每年所有新发女性癌症的三分之一。超过70%的癌症发生在致密型乳腺中，这种情况在亚洲女性中尤为普遍。GE医疗指出，由于标准乳腺X光技术的局限性，约三分之一的致密型乳腺中的癌症未能被检测出来。

Dense breast tissue refers to tissue that is more glandular and fibrous..

密集的乳腺组织是指更多的腺体和纤维组织。

Graysen Vigneux, Medical Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “For patients with dense breast tissue, where mammography alone may be insufficient, [GE HealthCare’s technology] provides a critical additional layer of detection, improving diagnostic accuracy and potentially saving lives.”

GlobalData的医疗分析师格雷森·维尼厄克斯评论道：“对于乳腺组织致密的患者来说，单独使用乳腺X光摄影可能不够充分，[GE医疗的技术]提供了关键的额外检测层面，提高了诊断准确性，并有可能挽救生命。”

The medtech giant has inserted artificial intelligence (AI) in ABUS to automate the imaging process and detection of cancers. The technology could also decrease unnecessary biopsies by unveiling certain features of the image that help differentiate malignant tumours, allowing for earlier escalation of care..

这家医疗技术巨头已经在ABUS中引入了人工智能（AI），以实现成像过程和癌症检测的自动化。该技术还可以通过揭示图像的某些特征来帮助区分恶性肿瘤，从而减少不必要的活检，实现更早的治疗升级。

Vigneux adds: “Early detection remains the cornerstone of improving breast cancer outcomes, and for women with dense breast tissue, automated whole-breast ultrasound offers a promising advancement. This technology enhances the ability to identify tumours that might otherwise be missed, leading to earlier intervention and better treatment options.”.

维格诺补充说：“早期检测仍然是改善乳腺癌预后的关键，对于乳腺组织致密的女性，自动化的全乳超声提供了一个有前景的进步。这项技术增强了识别可能被遗漏的肿瘤的能力，从而实现更早的干预和更好的治疗选择。”

Vigneux does highlight limitations of the tech. Compared to handheld devices, for example, automated whole-breast ultrasound techniques may employ lower frequency transducers, potentially resulting in lower spatial and contrast resolution compared to hand-held devices.

Vigneux确实指出了该技术的局限性。例如，与手持设备相比，自动全乳腺超声技术可能采用较低频率的换能器，可能导致空间分辨率和对比度分辨率低于手持设备。

The expansion of GE HealthCare’s ultrasound tech will consolidate its market dominance. According to analysis by GlobalData, the company occupies the joint-largest share of the global ultrasound market with Siemens Healthineers. The market is forecast to reach nearly $12bn by 2034, driven by demand for minimally invasive diagnosis in populations with rising average ages..

GE HealthCare的超声技术扩展将巩固其市场主导地位。根据GlobalData的分析，该公司与西门子医疗并列占据全球超声市场最大份额。受人口平均年龄增长对微创诊断需求的推动，预计该市场到2034年将达到近120亿美元。
