This state-of-the-art technology aims to deliver more accurate, comfortable, and reassuring breast screenings while helping doctors identify cancers earlier than ever before.

UAE—HealthBay Vitalia in Jumeirah, UAE, has launched a cutting-edge Breast Clinic to offer the most advanced breast cancer screening technologies available worldwide.
This new facility will offer access to the Hologic 3D Mammography system, featuring Genius AI Detection—the first of its kind in the country—for women across the UAE.
This state-of-the-art technology aims to deliver more accurate, comfortable, and reassuring breast screenings while helping doctors identify cancers earlier than ever before.
Breast cancer remains one of the leading cancers affecting women globally, with one in eight women expected to develop it at some point in their lives.
In the UAE, medical professionals are noticing an increasing number of cases among women under 50, marking a shift from previous trends.
Early detection is crucial, as catching cancer at Stage 1 increases the five-year survival rate to 90–95%, underscoring the importance of routine screening.
The 3Dimensions system, combined with Genius AI Detection, addresses critical healthcare needs in the region by enhancing early detection efforts.
This technology reduces false-positive results and increases cancer detection accuracy, helping to lower patient anxiety and ensure no cancer goes unnoticed.
Designed with patient comfort in mind, the machine features a curved compression surface that fits the natural breast shape.
Additionally, its advanced 3D imaging provides radiologists with detailed, multi-layered views that enable them to spot even the smallest changes.
Dr. Amrita Kumar, Consultant Interventional Breast Radiologist and AI Clinical Lead at HealthBay, explains that the goal is to give women peace of mind by using the most advanced tools to detect cancer early while making screenings more comfortable.
Unlike traditional 2D mammograms, this 3D system captures multiple tissue layers, enabling radiologists to detect 20–65% more invasive breast cancers.
It is particularly beneficial for women with dense breast tissue, where conventional mammograms might miss subtle signs.
Each scan undergoes analysis by Genius AI Detection, a clinically proven system that examines every image slice with exceptional precision.
Acting as an intelligent aid for radiologists, it offers a 94% sensitivity rate and reduces unnecessary recalls by up to 70% compared to older technologies.
Dr. Kumar points out that AI supports—rather than replaces—radiologists by minimizing missed diagnoses and providing an extra layer of confidence for patients.
The clinic also incorporates risk assessment tools such as IBIS scoring, which considers personal and family history, breast density, and other factors to develop personalized screening plans.
These plans may include ultrasounds or MRI scans in addition to mammography if needed.
HealthBay stands among the first healthcare providers in the UAE to introduce the Hologic 3Dimensions system with Genius AI.
Backed by rigorous clinical governance and continuous audits, the clinic emphasizes quality and accuracy.
