We are a developer, manufacturer and supplier of medical imaging systems and diagnostic and surgical products focused on the healthcare needs of women. Historically, we have developed, manufactured and marketed products focused on mammography, breast care and osteoporosis assessment. In October 2007, we completed our business combination with Cytyc Corporation (Cytyc), a company that develops, manufactures and markets complementary products covering a range of cancers and womens health applications, including cervical cancer screening, prenatal diagnostics, uterine disorders and partial breast radiation therapy.
