Frost & Sullivan Lauds U-Systems for Its Unique Technology and Strategic Excellence Paving the Way for Robust Growth PR Newswire MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, Aug. 28, 2012 -- The company's path-breaking ultrasound technology and educational efforts have made it a market leader in breast imaging MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, Aug. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the breast imaging market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes U-Systems, Inc. with the 2012 North American Frost & Sullivan Award for Entrepreneurial Company of the Year. The company has already won the 2011 Technology Innovation Award in the automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) market and has now received recognition for leveraging its unique products and demonstrating strategic excellence that has resulted in robust growth. Approximately 40 percent of women in the United States have dense breast tissue, a condition for which studies suggest that up to 75 percent of cancers can go undetected through screening with X-ray mammography alone. While ultrasound has always been an effective adjunct to mammography, especially for women with dense breasts, its heavy dependence on operator expertise was a disadvantage. U-Systems' pioneering somo-v ® Automated Breast Ultrasound (ABUS) system addresses this and many other challenges to the standard deployment of ultrasound for breast imaging.
