What changed

USPTO granted Patent US12588883B2 to EosDx Inc. covering an X-ray system for breast tissue structural analysis. The system combines a mammography apparatus with absorption contrast imaging and a diffractometer that interchangeably align with a breast positioning area. The work-station controls the apparatus and processes data to determine coordinates of potential cancer sites. The patent application (No. 18352094) was filed July 13, 2023, and includes 20 claims covering both the apparatus and method claims.

Medical device manufacturers developing mammography or breast imaging equipment should review this patent to assess potential infringement exposure. Companies designing similar tissue analysis systems combining absorption contrast imaging with diffractometer technology for cancer diagnostics may need to evaluate licensing options or design-around strategies. This patent does not impose compliance deadlines but establishes exclusive rights enforceable through federal court.

Abstract

In some embodiments, an X-ray system comprises a work-station and a mammography apparatus. The mammography apparatus can comprise: a breast positioning area; an absorption contrast imaging apparatus; and a diffractometer for analyzing structure of tissue within a breast. The absorption contrast imaging apparatus and the diffractometer can be configured to move in order to interchangeably align with the breast positioning area. The work-station can be configured to control the mammography apparatus, and to process data received from the mammography apparatus. In some embodiments, a method of controlling an X-ray system comprises: measuring the denseness of the breast tissue using an absorption contrast imaging apparatus; processing the absorption contrast imaging measurement results using the work-station to determine coordinates of potential cancer sites; performing measurements at the coordinates of the potential cancer sites using the diffractometer; and processing the diffractometer measurement results to perform diagnostics.
