FDA approves Dilons lesion-localization system
The FDA has granted 510(k) clearance for Dilon Diagnostics’ lesion-localization system for molecular imaging biopsy guidance.
The GammaLMc, a complementary technology to the Dilon 6800 Gamma Camera, is a system to help doctors locate breast lesions and allow gamma-guided biopsies, according to the Newport News, Va.-based company. The GammaLMc system utilizes a CorreLocator paddle and a StereoView imaging collimator system—a technique similar to that used in stereotactic x-ray localization—and the GammaLMc software calculates the location of the lesion.
