Hologic CEO Steve MacMillan Rings Nasdaq Opening Bell on October 2

Hologic, Inc.’s Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Steve MacMillan, joined a number of employees to ring the Nasdaq Opening Bell for the 14th consecutive year on Oct. 2 to mark the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Hologic has expanded its product portfolio significantly in recent months through insight-driven innovation and strategic acquisitions to address the entire continuum of breast cancer diagnosis and care. From tomosynthesis to ultrasound, to digital specimen radiography and stereotactic breast biopsy systems, to breast biopsy markers and surgical guidance systems — Hologic’s comprehensive suite of products is designed to meet the needs of radiologists, pathologists, breast surgeons and patients.

“As the world leader in mammography and a company focused on women’s health, we’re committed to early detection, more certain diagnoses, and accurate and compassionate treatment for women facing breast cancer,” said MacMillan. “We’re proud to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month by ringing the Nasdaq Opening Bell for the 14th year in a row, and we’re grateful to be joined by many of the dedicated employees whose passion fuels the work we do.”

Hologic’s participation in the Nasdaq opening bell ceremony was aired live at https://new.livestream.com/NASDAQ/live and with closed captioning on the Nasdaq MarketSite tower in Times Square. The video of the ceremony will be archived for one year on the Nasdaq site.

a Schematic of the system. The entire solid tumour is illuminated from four sides by a four-arm fibre bundle. A cylindrically focused linear array is designed to detect optoacoustic signals from the tumour. In vivo imaging is performed in conical scanning geometry by controlling the rotation and translation stages. The sensing part of the transducer array and the tumour are submerged in water to provide acoustic coupling. b Maximum intensity projections of the optoacoustic reconstruction of a phantom of polyethylene microspheres (diameter, 20 μm) dispersed in agar. The inset shows a zoomed-in view of the region boxed with a yellow dashed line. In addition, the yellow boxes are signal profiles along the x, y and z axes across the microsphere centre, as well as the corresponding full width at half-maximum values. c Normalized absorption spectra of Hb, HbO2 and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The spectrum for the AuNPs was obtained using a USB4000 spectrometer (Ocean Optics, Dunedin, FL, USA), while the spectra for Hb and HbO2 were taken from http://omlc.org/spectra/haemoglobin/index.html. The vertical dashed lines indicate the five wavelengths used to stimulate the three absorbers: 710, 750, 780, 810 and 850 nm. Optoacoustic signals were filtered into a low-frequency band (red) and high-frequency band (green), which were used to reconstruct separate images.

The Breast Imaging and Reporting System (BI-RADS) was established by the American College of Radiology to help classify findings on mammography. Findings are classified based on the risk of breast cancer, with a BI-RADS 2 lesion being benign, or not cancerous, and BI-RADS 6 representing a lesion that is biopsy-proven to be malignant.

While this provides more information for clinicians, the exponential increase in data can result in reader fatigue and burnout, which may ultimately affect patient care.
