Imaging Diagnostic Systems of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., reported that it has installed a CT laser mammography (CTLM) system at the Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital in Tianjin, China.

The Tianjin system is the second research system installed in China, according to the company. The first, at Beijing's Friendship Hospital, enabled CTLM clinical procedures to become listed on a regional schedule for patient payments.

Imaging Diagnostic Systems said it plans to install several more research CTLM systems in China to accelerate market adoption of its laser breast imaging technique in that country.
