Abstract:
A multi-modality cancer screening and diagnosis system is provided that allows cancer screening and diagnosis of a patient using at least two different and sequential three-dimensional imaging techniques without patient repositioning. The system includes a first three-dimensional image acquisition device, a second three-dimensional image acquisition device having a probe with a transmitter mounted thereon, and a positioning paddle for positioning and immobilizing an object to be imaged during the cancer screening and diagnosis procedure. The positioning paddle is designed to facilitate visualization of the breast in both three-dimensional modalities without movement of the patient, and preferably is designed to position the patient with comfort during a diagnosis procedure which uses both imaging modalities.

Claim (Index 32):
A multi-modal imaging system for imaging a patient breast, the system comprising:\n an imaging gantry comprising a support platform for supporting a breast and a compression arm movable relative to the support platform; a communication system coupled to the imaging gantry; a first imaging system coupled to the communication system for performing a first imaging operation of the breast, wherein a first portion of the first imaging system is movably disposed on a first side of the support platform and wherein a second portion of the first imaging system is movably disposed on a second side of the support platform; a second imaging system different than the first imaging system and coupled to the communicating system for performing a second imaging operation of the breast; a positioning paddle adapted to maintain a position of the breast for imaging by a multi-modal imaging system during imaging procedures by both the first imaging system and the second imaging system; and a navigation system coupled to the first imaging system and the second imaging system, wherein the navigation system is configured to transform a position and an orientation of a field of view of the second imaging system so that the navigation system co-registers data from the first imaging system and the second imaging system.
