Calidar Announces Groundbreaking 4D Mammography System: First-in-Human Study Initiated

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Calidar, Inc., an innovative start-up in precision diagnostic imaging, today announced the successful imaging of the first patient with its 4D Mammography system.

Despite decades of innovation in medical imaging, breast cancer and other soft tissue diseases remain difficult to detect noninvasively with sufficient precision. In the United States alone, approximately 1.5 million breast biopsies are performed each year, with up to 80% of those (1.2 million) ultimately diagnosed as benign. These unnecessary procedures contribute to over $6 billion in annual healthcare spending, a cost borne by both patients and payers.
