OverView: CTLM an innovative laser breast imaging modality designed to be used as an adjunct to conventional breast screening modalities.

The CTLM was developed to enhance conventional breast screening methods specifically with the dense breast screening population. A common problem for patients with dense breasts examined by x-ray technology is that it can result in an inconclusive diagnosis or even a misdiagnosis due to the density of the breast tissue.

It is equally important to note that traditional x-ray technology no matter how good its quality, does not contain all the necessary information for many radiologists to say whether the abnormality detected is a cancer, requiring surgery, or a benign lesion which can be followed by additional imaging procedures.

Therefore, in order to avoid a misdiagnosis, the radiologist may consider a follow up examination, recommend a biopsy ( which up to 80% of biopsies turn out to be negative) to be accurate. However with the CTLM system we hope to provide the radiologists a diagnostic tool that may provide additional information to address complexities.
