Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Hologic (NASDAQ: HOLX) price target of $17.00.

Barclays analyst says, "The highlights were customer presentations on clinical usage and positive early experience with tomo, and preliminary tomo data from ongoing clinical trials. No change to financial guidance or our estimates, but we are encouraged by the degree of customer interest and initial traction seen by the company (>100 systems placed)."

"HOLX reiterates CPT code on track for 2013: HOLX highlighted four promising but preliminary tomo studies presented at RSNA...'TMIST' on the horizon: The 3D mammography market is set to see competitive entries over the next couple of years, and plans are afoot for an ACR-conducted
multi-vendor, prospective trial ('TMIST') similar to the 2005 DMIST study for FFDM."

"Two upcoming tomo-related FDA submissions: 1) PMA supplement for C-View (reconstructs 2D images from 3D data), with launch expected in 2013. The calcification enhancement capability will follow ~6 months after that; 2) 510(k) submission for Affirm for tomo-guided biopsies by YE12."
