Sentinelle Vanguard Breast MR Auxiliary Table®: A boon for breast cancer patients

The Vanguard System inventor, Cameron Piron, President of Sentinelle Medical Inc. just received a Best Innovator 2008 Award from the Ontario Premier for the Sentinelle Vanguard Breast MR Auxiliary Table® made for the General Electric (GE) Signa® HDx 1.5T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine. MRI is a non-invasive method using a blend of large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to fashion exhaustive images of organs and structures inside the body.

The detachable Vanguard table can be adapted for every patient; thus, making her breasts more open to the diagnostic apparatus. The flexible coils cup the breasts on the Vanguard table to suit each patient irrespective of breast size. The Vanguard System banks on AEGIS software besides Sentinelle's proprietary software, called BReast Imaging and Guidance Help Tool (BRIGHT®) to make excessive resolution, instantaneous, 3D images of breast tissue for precise recognition of lesions, biopsy measures, and lesion deletion. It may be suggested to women prone to high risk for breast cancer, having close family history, or other diagnostic results indicating need for extra study.
