In a flurry of activity, iCAD of Hudson, NH, has introduced a new version of its mammography computer-aided detection system, MammoReader II, a leasing program to promote its acquisition, and new CAD software. With two mammographic digitizers and a high-speed, dual-processor computer workstation, MammoReader II can process up to 39 breast cancer screening cases per hour. The new system, which includes an integrated Scanner/Analyzer Workstation with a backlit review panel, is available through Instrumentarium Imaging, the exclusive U.S. distributor for iCAD breast cancer detection products. It can be acquired under a CADLease operating program, which allows reduced payments during the first year of the lease to provide customers time to build revenue from its use. The company has also released a new version of its CAD software that cuts by 25% the time needed to digitize and analyze groups of mammograms. The new release also allows users to automatically print CAD results for distribution and review in hard-copy form.

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.
