The startup has developed a ring-type ultrasonic transducer device that captures 3D images of the breast using ultrasound technology without causing deformation. This approach minimizes patient discomfort and exposure during breast cancer diagnosis, enhancing the accuracy and safety of the imaging process.

Problem
Breast cancer screening often involves uncomfortable and potentially harmful methods like mammography, which can be particularly problematic for women with dense breast tissue. Existing ultrasound methods require highly skilled operators, leading to variability in image quality and diagnostic accuracy. As a result, many women avoid or delay regular screening, hindering early detection and treatment.
Solution
Lily MedTech offers COCOLY, a ring-type ultrasound imaging system designed for comfortable and accurate breast cancer screening. The system utilizes a unique ring-array transducer that captures 3D images of the breast without compression, minimizing discomfort and eliminating radiation exposure. COCOLY's automated operation ensures consistent image quality regardless of operator skill, addressing the limitations of traditional handheld ultrasound. The resulting high-resolution images are less affected by breast density, improving diagnostic accuracy and facilitating early detection of tumors.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes hospitals, breast cancer screening centers, and radiology clinics seeking a more comfortable, accurate, and operator-independent breast imaging solution.
