In a significant advancement for the UAE’s healthcare technology landscape, Dubai-based HealthBay has unveiled the country’s first Hologic 3Dimensions mammography system integrated with Genius AI Detection. The new state-of-the-art Breast Clinic at HealthBay Vitalia, Jumeirah aims to provide more accurate, comfortable, and reassuring screening to improve early breast cancer detection rates.
A New Era for Breast Cancer Screening
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women, and doctors in the UAE have noted an increase in cases among women under 50. With a 90-95% five-year survival rate for Stage 1 diagnoses, early and accurate detection is the most effective tool in treatment. HealthBay’s new system directly addresses this need, offering a significant leap forward from traditional screening methods and setting a new standard of care in the region.
Combining 3D Imaging with Artificial Intelligence
Unlike standard 2D mammograms, the advanced 3D imaging system captures multiple layers of breast tissue, providing radiologists with a clearer and more detailed view to identify even minor changes. This technology has been shown to detect 20-65% more invasive breast cancers, an improvement that is particularly crucial for women with dense breast tissue where cancers can be harder to spot. Each scan is then analyzed by the Genius AI Detection technology, which acts as an intelligent support system for radiologists. This AI integration delivers a 94% sensitivity rate and reduces the need for unnecessary callbacks by up to 70% compared to older systems, easing patient anxiety.
Enhancing Radiologist Expertise and Patient Comfort
The system is designed not to replace clinical expertise but to augment it, providing a powerful tool for medical professionals. “AI doesn’t replace the radiologist — it works alongside us,” explained Dr. Amrita Kumar, Consultant Interventional Breast Radiologist & AI Clinical Lead at HealthBay. “It reduces the chances of missing anything and gives women an extra layer of reassurance that their results are being examined from every angle.” Beyond its technological prowess, the equipment prioritizes patient comfort with a curved compression surface that adapts to the natural shape of the breast, making the screening experience less stressful. The clinic also integrates risk assessment tools like IBIS scoring to create personalized screening plans for patients.
