Consistent Accuracy
ATUSA combines a patented 3D ultrasound scanner and Artificial Intelligence to perform whole breast scans and localize breast lesions with consistent accuracy matching the best operators using traditional ultrasound equipment.
Accurate
Comprehensive 3D scanning and lesion localization on par with the best ultrasound specialists.
Standardized
Reproducible whole breast image acquisition and analysis performed consistently across patients.
Automated 3D Ultrasound Scans
ATUSA enables physicians to perform repeatable breast ultrasound imaging at the point of care without the need for a trained ultrasound operator. With our proprietary radial scan method, ATUSA creates precise 3D visualizations of lesions as well as sagittal, transverse and coronal views.
Operator-agnostic
Expert results at the point of care without requiring a trained ultrasound operator.
3D-visualization
Three-dimensional visualizations of breast volume for easier lesion detection and better diagnosis.
Unmatched Speed and Convenience
The ATUSA wearable accessory ensures fast, easy and comfortable image acquisition. Scans only take one minute per breast and make breast imaging painless and convenient for patient and practitioner — finally!
Fast
Fully automated and hands-free, ATUSA is 15-20 times faster than manual probing.
Simple
Standard ATUSA wearable accessory, scanning procedure and app for a simpler workflow.
Personalized Risk-based Imaging
ATUSA's accessible ultrasound scanning procedure opens the door to personalized longitudinal monitoring for high-risk individuals, providing better patient experience and increased engagement.
Personalized
Accessible monitoring for high-risk individuals, enhanced patient experience and engagement.
Remote Monitoring
Personalized longitudinal monitoring, change tracking and remote care made accessible.
As a son of a breast cancer victim, I can’t emphasize enough the importance of more available and frequent breast cancer screening and monitoring. My mother suffered from the unfortunate consequence of believing she was in remission when her breast cancer returned unbeknownst to her. ATUSA provides a window into the activity of cancer, and, more importantly, builds from this a cancer profile previously unknown to physicians and patients alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the ATUSA System designed for?
Initially, the ATUSA system is aimed at physicians offices and women’s health clinics to allow for fast and convenient whole breast imaging at the point of care. The ATUSA system is fully automated, easy to operate and is meant to be used by physicians, nurses, and medical assistants.
What are the components of the ATUSA system?
The ATUSA system is made up of a 3D ultrasound scanner, a wearable accessory, a Windows application (desktop and tablet, Windows 7 and higher) for real-time image display, review and measurement and a secure web application for remote viewing with advanced 3D visualization.
How does the ATUSA system work?
First, the patient attaches the wearable accessory and lies on her back. The operator then adjusts the breast tissue, applies coupling medium and attaches the 3D scanner. When the scanner is ready, it can be started from the ATUSA software with the press of a button to automatically image the whole breast volume, which takes approximately one minute. This procedure can then be repeated on the patient’s other breast.
Where can I try and/or purchase the ATUSA system?
Physicians, women’s health clinics and other relevant health care professionals can get access to the device by registering for a free demo or registering their interest to participate in the ATUSA pilot program. The ATUSA system is currently only available for investigational use and is not yet available for sale.
What kind of training is required to use ATUSA?
The ATUSA system does not require a radiologist or ultrasound technologist for image acquisition. ATUSA comes with comprehensive instructional videos for system operation and an initial live demo/training session. However, interpretation of images requires a physician with training in breast ultrasound.
How does the ATUSA scanner connect to my tablet or laptop? Is internet connectivity required to use the System?
The ATUSA system connects to your tablet or laptop via USB and does not require an internet connection. Acquired images are saved locally on your device and are automatically backed up to a HIPAA-compliant secure cloud storage when connected to the internet.
