VertecSA proudly participated in the RSA/BISSA Congress (June 2025) - a fantastic opportunity to reconnect with valued customers, engage with industry peers, and showcase some of our most advanced imaging equipment.

We presented a selection of Hologic branded equipment and showcased the Hologic Brevera Biopsy unit.

The Hologic Brevera is an innovative, integrated breast biopsy system designed to streamline and enhance the biopsy procedure. It combines vacuum-assisted tissue acquisition with real-time specimen imaging in one compact device, allowing radiologists to efficiently perform biopsies with greater confidence. Currently only available for use on Stereo, not MRI or Ultrasound compatible.

Key Features:
✔️Integrated Specimen Imaging: The Brevera system includes built-in imaging technology that instantly verifies the tissue samples, reducing the need for multiple specimen handling or additional imaging.
✔️Vacuum-Assisted Biopsy: Its vacuum-assisted technology allows for the collection of larger tissue samples with fewer passes, improving diagnostic accuracy.
✔️Efficiency & Workflow: By combining tissue acquisition and specimen imaging in one system, the Brevera reduces procedure time, minimizes patient discomfort, and streamlines workflow in busy breast imaging clinics.
✔️Enhanced Clinical Confidence: Instant verification of samples helps ensure the radiologist has collected representative tissue, which can reduce repeat procedures and improve patient outcomes.

Overall, the Hologic Brevera system is designed to deliver precise, efficient, and reliable breast biopsies, supporting early and accurate diagnosis of breast lesions.

In addition, our popular AI platform captured attention for its powerful AI-driven diagnostic support, helping clinicians improve accuracy and workflow efficiency in breast imaging.

Our team thoroughly enjoyed the congress experience — engaging with healthcare professionals, sharing knowledge, and demonstrating how our technology supports improved patient care.

We look forward to continuing these meaningful conversations and supporting advancements in breast imaging across South Africa.
