Quantra™ Technology
Standardising breast density analysis with machine learning at the point of care.
Standardise Breast Density Analysis
Higher breast density is known to increase a woman’s risk for breast cancer.1 The need for accurate, unbiased analysis is therefore critical. Powered by machine learning, Quantra technology software analyses both 2D™ and tomosynthesis images for distribution and texture of parenchymal tissue. It categorises breasts in four breast composition categories consistent with guidance from the American College of Radiation (ACR) BI-RADS Atlas 5th Edition.2
Better Risk Prediction
In addition to volume, pattern and texture of fibroglandular tissue may play just as an important role in mammographic cancer risk prediction.3-5 By analysing and categorising breast texture and pattern, our technology can deliver the accurate information you need to achieve more consistent and reliable scoring and confidently design patient-specific screening.
Unbiased Assessment
Objective machine learning algorithm that assigns breast density category based on analysis of breast tissue texture and patterns.
Standardisation
Elevate the standard of care and standardise reporting across the whole radiology practice.
Smoother Patient Pathway
Displays density on the acquisition workstation to facilitate patient management protocols for potential supplemental imaging.
Unlock the Advantage of Time
The Breast Health Continuum of Care offers integrated solutions for clinical confidence, workflow efficiency and compassionate patient care. Giving more women more time in better health.
Quantra Technology is part of the Hologic Screening & Diagnosis Solution.
Design Intent & Clinical Performance
Quantra software’s unbiased algorithm analyse both 2D and tomosynthesis images to support your analysis by:
- Overcoming subjectivity in visual assessment, providing more consistent, and more reliable scoring.*
- Elevating the standard of care and standardises reporting.
- Facilitating patient management protocols for supplemental imaging.

Genius AI™ Detection Technology, for Breast Cancer Detection
A deep-learning algorithm designed to aid radiologists' diagnostic performance and detect breast cancer from tomosynthesis images obtained using the Hologic Dimensions Mammography® Systems. Locates lesions that are likely to represent breast cancer by searching each slice of the tomosynthesis image set. Suspicious areas are highlighted to aid in interpretation.
3DQuorum™ Imaging Technology, for accelerated reading
3DQuorum technology utilises Genius AI™-powered analytics to uniquely reconstruct high-resolution 3D Mammography™ data to produce 6mm SmartSlices. It speeds up reading time by reducing the number of images to review, with no compromise in image quality, sensitivity or accuracy.6,7 With our newest innovation, you could reduce read times by an hour a day.6,7**

Insights
*Scores are based on ACR BI-RADS categories, in line with the revised guidance by the American College of Radiation (ACR) BI-RADS Atlas 5th Edition. This accounts for pattern and texture, compared with volume, when determining density.
**Based on 8 hours of image interpretation time per day.
