Health Bay Vitalia in Jumeirah has unveiled a modern clinic specialized in breast diseases, committed to providing the latest breast cancer screening technologies to the UAE community. The clinic offers women in the UAE a 3D mammography system from Hologic, the first device equipped with Genius AI Detection technology in the country.

This new technology provides more accurate, comfortable, and reliable breast exams for women and helps doctors detect cancer at a very early stage.

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women, with statistics indicating that one in every eight women worldwide will be diagnosed during her lifetime. The UAE has seen increasing cases of breast cancer among women under 50, a significant rise compared to previous decades. Early detection of cancer increases the five-year survival rate to 90-95%, making regular screening a pivotal factor in women’s health.

Healthcare Needs

The 3D mammography system equipped with Genius AI Detection meets essential healthcare needs in the region, as early detection remains the most effective tool in combating breast cancer. This technology helps reduce patient anxiety and ensures detection of all cancer types by minimizing false positives and increasing detection rates. The device is designed with patient comfort in mind, featuring a curved compression surface that fits the natural shape of the breast, while the advanced 3D imaging system provides radiologists with clearer, more precise views to detect even the smallest changes.

Commenting on this, Dr. Amrita Kumar, Interventional Breast Radiology Consultant and Chief Clinical AI Specialist at Health Bay, said, “Through this device, we aim to reassure women, support patients by providing the latest available tools for early cancer detection, and enhance the screening experience to be more comfortable.”

Unlike 2D mammography, the 3D system images multiple layers of breast tissue, helping radiologists detect 20-65% of the most common breast cancers. This high accuracy is especially valuable for women with dense breast tissue, which can hide signs of disease from traditional mammography devices.

Each exam is reviewed using clinically validated Genius AI Detection technology, analyzing each image slice with high precision, offering radiologists an intelligent support system with a sensitivity rate of 94%, while reducing retakes by up to 70% compared to older systems.

Dr. Amrita added, “AI does not replace radiologists but enhances their ability to diagnose accurately. It also reduces the chance of missing any changes and increases women’s confidence in the imaging accuracy from all angles.”

The new clinic integrates risk assessment tools such as the IBIS system, which also considers patients’ family and personal history, breast tissue density, and other factors. Based on this, personalized imaging plans can include ultrasound or MRI alongside mammography when needed.

Health Bay is among the first healthcare providers in the UAE to offer the Hologic 3D mammography system with Genius AI Detection, supported by strict clinical governance and regular audits to ensure the highest standards of quality and accuracy. The clinic aims to combine human expertise with AI advantages to provide smarter, faster, and more reliable screening, giving women and their families greater confidence in their care.

Dr. Amrita concluded, “We strive to help women detect cancer as early as possible to improve treatment chances. We can achieve this goal by using advanced technology and adopting a more patient-centered approach.”

Health Bay’s provision of this technology underscores the organization’s commitment to advancing medical innovation in the region. The new specialized breast disease clinic aims to become a model for breast cancer diagnosis in the UAE, elevating healthcare standards and improving patient outcomes nationwide.
