New York, NY – 9/30/25 – Pink Medical, a premier women’s diagnostics practice, today announced the launch of Vera Scan technology at its flagship Women’s Diagnostic Center located in Manhattan at 30 East 60th Street, Suite 2200. The breakthrough technology eliminates compression and discomfort associated with traditional diagnostic mammograms while providing superior 3D imaging capabilities.
The timing coincides with Breast Cancer Awareness Month, highlighting the critical importance of regular breast health assessment via breast imaging. Prior studies have shown that a significant percentage of women delay or avoid annual breast imaging due to pain and discomfort from traditional diagnostic mammograms, potentially compromising early detection efforts.
Revolutionary Technology Transforms Breast Imaging Experience
Pink Medical’s Vera Scan technology represents a major advancement in breast imaging, offering several key benefits:
- Pain-free: Eliminates breast compression entirely.
- True 3D imaging: The technology provides an uncompressed, 360-degree, 3D image of the breast using radiation levels comparable to a diagnostic mammogram.
- Rapid exam: Less than 10 seconds per breast.
- Excellent Visualization: Capable of imaging masses as small as 2mm.
- Patient-friendly: Avoids lengthy scan times as well as the enclosed feeling of a traditional breast MRI.
“This technology changes the landscape for women who avoid breast exams, have dense breasts, or have other risk factors that may predispose them to breast cancer,” said Dr. Margaret Nachtigall, Medical Director of Pink Medical.
Addressing Dense Breast Tissue Challenges
In September 2024, the FDA mandated that mammography facilities inform patients if they have dense breasts. Dense breasts have more glandular and connective tissue, which increases the risk of developing breast cancer and makes it harder to detect on standard mammograms. The mandate aims to empower women with this information to have informed conversations with their healthcare providers about their individual risk and potential supplemental screenings. Pink Medical’s Vera Scan technology has shown to be effective for imaging dense breast tissue.
“When we conduct contrast exams with the Vera system, the results are impressive—helping to cut through breast density and highlight abnormalities that might otherwise be missed,” Dr. Nachtigall explained. The same technology can also be utilized for image-guided biopsies when needed.
