Frequently Asked
Questions

The Symphony is an automated 3D optoacoustic and laser ultrasound imaging system developed by TomoWave. It is designed for breast cancer diagnostics, offering a non-invasive, high-resolution alternative to traditional imaging methods like MRI. By combining optical and acoustic technologies, it provides detailed functional and anatomical images of breast tissue.

How does the Symphony system work?

The Symphony utilizes optoacoustic tomography, where short laser pulses are directed into the tissue. These pulses are absorbed by specific molecules, causing a slight temperature rise and generating ultrasound waves. These waves are then detected and used to reconstruct detailed images of the tissue’s structure and function.

What are the clinical applications of the Symphony device?

Primarily, the Symphony is used for breast cancer detection and monitoring. It can visualize tumor vasculature, assess oxygenation levels, and monitor responses to therapies. Additionally, it offers the capability for hyperthermia treatment, inducing apoptosis in newly discovered cancerous breast tumors.

Is the Symphony system FDA-approved for clinical use?

As of now, the Symphony system is primarily intended for research purposes and may not have FDA approval for widespread clinical use. Users should consult TomoWave or relevant regulatory bodies for the most current approval status and intended use statements.

Can the Symphony system be integrated with other imaging modalities?

Yes, the Symphony system is designed to complement other imaging techniques. Its optoacoustic imaging can be combined with traditional ultrasound imaging, providing co-registered functional and anatomical information, enhancing diagnostic accuracy.
