HSL’s home reporting set up for mammography promises to bring significant improvements to the reporting process, making it more efficient, convenient, and accessible for radiologists. Traditionally, radiologists have been required to be physically present in a dedicated reporting room to interpret mammograms. However, HSL’s solution allows for remote reporting from the comfort of their own homes, without compromising accuracy or quality.

By introducing a home reporting setup, HSL tackles several challenges faced by radiologists in the traditional reporting process. The flexibility offered by this setup enables radiologists to work remotely, eliminating the need for them to be physically present in the hospital. This not only promotes work-life balance but also facilitates the recruitment of radiologists from remote areas, ensuring faster turnaround times and improved access to expert opinions.

As the healthcare industry continues to evolve, it is evident that HSL’s home reporting set up for mammography is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of breast imaging and diagnostics. With its commitment to innovation, efficiency, and patient-centricity, HSL is driving positive change in mammography reporting, ensuring a brighter and healthier future for women worldwide.

The Hologic 3Dimensions Mammography System is widely recognised for its unrivalled performance providing outstanding 2D and 3D images for radiologists, a better and more comfortable examination for patients and enhanced workflow for mammographers. With results backed by more than 200 clinical studies, four of the eight dedicated symptomatic breast centres in the HSE now have the capability of utilising tomosynthesis to further aid early breast cancer detection.

“The introduction of tomosynthesis to our symptomatic service has simplified the diagnostic work up and increased accuracy. The establishment of synthesized 2D mammography (Intelligent2D) as a viable alternative to conventional digital mammography will allow us to achieve this goal with no additional radiation dose to our patients”, said Dr Ronan McDermott, consultant radiologist at St James’s.

Each installation comprises the Hologic 3Dimensions unit, an Affirm Tomosynthesis Breast Biopsy Guidance System as well as a Brevera Biopsy Console, offering the user real time visualisation of core samples.  CAD and QUANTRA (breast density) software has been installed at each site, thereby equipping centres with the complete suite of Hologic Mammography solutions.

Commenting on the achievement, Paula Scully, now HSL’s GB business consultant, former EMEA business director for Hologic said, “I have great confidence in the HSL team both in Ireland and GB to deliver our tough sales objectives. As a customer-focused organisation HSL has assembled a great portfolio of market-leading products for sale in the UK / Ireland market. In addition to the proven Hologic Mammography Systems, we offer the range of Shimadzu Digital Radiography solutions for x-ray and mobiles, along with other x-ray solutions covering dental, veterinary and allied institutions plus a range of associated hardware and consumables”.
