Fujifilm and Sun Nuclear join efforts to raise awareness of breast cancer

Lexington, Mass., February 27, 2020  –  FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc., a leading provider of diagnostic imaging and medical informatics solutions, and Sun Nuclear Corporation, a provider of  innovative solutions for radiation therapy, diagnostic imaging and patient alignment, announced that the two organizations have joined efforts to educate, train and bring awareness to the importance of breast cancer screening.

A special educational event was hosted by the two organizations at Sun Nuclear Corporation headquarters in Melbourne, Florida on February 26 to raise awareness of the benefits of mammography screening for early detection of breast cancer.

“Fujifilm and Sun Nuclear Corporation share a common interest in enabling access to breast health education and mammography screening services for every woman who needs it,” said Rick Banner, Senior Director of Marketing, FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. “Through outreach and collaboration with women’s health leaders, we are hoping to empower women to be fearless in their approach to their breast health.”

The Aspire to Be Fearless mobile mammography coach was present at the educational event and provided attendees with the opportunity to tour the coach and view the ASPIRE Cristalle 3D mammography system and an ASPIRE Bellus II mammography workstation together with Sun Nuclear’s comprehensive mammography quality assurance suite. Approximately 60 Sun Nuclear distributors from all around the world and 200 Sun Nuclear employees toured the coach.

Launched in 2019, the Aspire to Be Fearless campaign is designed to educate women on the importance of screening and to increase access to breast health exams for women across the country. The 18 month, 48 state campaign will be a collaborative effort between Fujifilm and trusted local women’s imaging clinicians to provide services and invaluable information about the importance of early detection.
