CADx Medical Systems of Montreal has signed distribution agreements for its Second Look CAD mammography system that cover 14 countries. It will be available in the U.S. when it gains FDA approval.
CADx will file for FDA premarket approval after clinical trials, which are under way at 11 U.S. sites, are complete. The newly signed distributorships are in Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Germany, Portugal, the U.K., Ireland, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, South Korea, Poland, Singapore, and Malaysia.
After a patients mammography film has been fed into a digitizer, Second Looks software analyzes it using proprietary algorithms. Second Look produces a printed paper image, highlighting areas of potential concern. Radiologists can use the printed image to assist with a diagnosis.
R2 Technology of Los Altos, CA, markets a similar CAD system known as the ImageChecker. GE Medical Systems plans to integrate ImageChecker into its Senographe 2000D as soon as it gains FDA clearance to read soft-copy images. Senographe has approval only for hard-copy reads.
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
