Inauguration of Advanced Hologic Imaging systems for comprehensive women’s health
A.J.Hospital & Research Centre has always been the first to adopt to the latest technologies, enhanced its diagnostic infrastructure with the installation of two advanced & unique imaging systems from Hologic U.S.A.
- 3D mammography with vacuumassisted breast biopsy capability and
- Stateof-the-art whole body DEXA system
The Hologic 3D mammography system (digital breast tomosynthesis) provides high-resolution, layer-by-layer visualization of breast tissue, improving the detection and characterization of lesions, which is better than the conventional 2D mammography. It also has advanced capabilities for contrast imaging. Integration with a vacuum-assisted breast biopsy device allows accurate, minimally invasive sampling of suspicious areas in the same setting, with, shorter procedure times and improved patient comfort compared with traditional stereotactic biopsy techniques.
The Hologic whole body DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) system provides precise measurements of bone mineral density and detailed body composition, including fat, lean mass and visceral adipose tissue, using low-dose X-ray technology. These capabilities support the diagnosis and monitoring of osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and metabolic disease, as well as applications in nutrition, obesity management, and sports medicine.
With these installations. A.J.Hospital & Research Centre reinforces its commitment to early detection, evidence-based prevention, and patient-centered cancer and metabolic health services for the region.
The facility will be inaugurated by Dr.A.J.Shetty, President Laxmi Memorial Education trust on 28th November 2025 at 10a.m.
