About 10 years ago, 3D tomography was approved by
the FDA, which isnt all that long ago. Until
now, this technology hasnt been accessible
financially to lower-volume imaging facilities.
However, Hologic Dimension has become the gap
product. As an upgradeable 2D, its been out long
enough to show up on the secondary market. The
experts at Atlantis Worldwide put together this
information to help you make the affordable
transition from 2D to 3D mammography with Hologic
Dimensions 2D. 3D tomography produces detailed,
three-dimensional images that can be rotated and
viewed in any orientation. This provides a more
natural and functional view of the patients
anatomy.

Its also ideal for tracking the shifts in growth
rate for tumors and identifying patients at risk
for cancer. 3D imaging also creates faster and
easier-to-read studies, helps speed up diagnoses,
treatment planning and surgery and improves
clinical productivity. The Hologic Dimensions 2D
upgradeable unit was released in 2009. It was
considered a gap product while 3D tomography
technology was under consideration for FDA
approval. Approval was granted in 2011 and at
that time a 3D tomo field upgrade was made
available to existing systems, and Hologic
Dimensions with built-in 3D was also released.
The upgrade costs about 100,000 and most
facilities that bought Dimensions 2D eventually
upgraded their systems. However, some have never
been upgraded.

In 2021 and 2022, weve seen a lot of 2D
upgradeable units and early 3D units becoming
available on the secondary market. This is due to
the fact that larger institutions are now
upgrading to the latest 3D systems. In addition,
there is more competition from Siemens, Fuji and
GE on the 3D tomo market. As a result, were
seeing a lot of facilities buying up more
affordable 2D upgradeable systems, 2D upgraded
systems and factory-born 3D systems.
