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 21):
A system for imaging a patient breast, the system comprising:\n an imaging gantry comprising a compression arm; a positioning paddle adapted to position a breast for imaging by a multi-modal imaging system, wherein each imaging modality of the multi-modal imaging system comprises has a separate co-ordinate space, the positioning paddle including a mechanism for coupling the positioning paddle to the compression arm; a first imaging system coupled to the imaging gantry; a communication system coupled to the imaging gantry; a second imaging system comprising an ultrasound system and coupled to the communication system; a tracking system coupled to the second imaging system, wherein the tracking system is configured to track movement of a probe of the second imaging system; and a navigation system coupled to the tracking system and the first imaging system, wherein the navigation system is configured to transform the position and orientation of a field of view of the probe of the second imaging system so that the navigation system co-registers data from the first imaging system and the second imaging system.
