The Future of Breast Imaging – Hologic Clarity HD High-Resolution 3D® Technology

As the technology in phones, computers, and cars evolve, so does the technology used in your mammogram. The clearer the images, the more confident your radiologist can be in their diagnosis. That’s why Hologic created the Genius^® exam with Hologic Clarity HD High-Resolution 3D^® Technology, the industry’s highest-resolution imaging technology.

What Makes a Mammogram High-Resolution?

Everyone enjoys a sharper picture, whether it’s your TV show, social media photos, or video streaming. Technology enhances these visuals so they’re as clear as possible, and it’s no different for breast imaging. Hologic Clarity HD High-Resolution 3D^® Technology enhances images so radiologists can better view the details of your mammogram. This means suspicious lumps or calcifications appear clearer, and radiologists feel more confident in what they’re reviewing.

Dr. Georgia Giakoumis Spear, Chief of the Department of Breast Imaging at NorthShore University Health System, said, “Our radiologists have unanimously expressed greater confidence when we’re reading cases with Hologic Clarity HD High-Resolution 3D^® Technology. We feel much more confident in the resolution and the image quality that we are seeing.”¹
