iCAD releases new CAD version
Computer-aided detection pioneer iCAD has upgraded its mammography CAD technology. The new product, Version 7.2, is now shipping with the company’s workstations SecondLook 300 and 700.
Computer-aided detection pioneer iCAD has upgraded its mammography CAD technology. The new product, Version 7.2, is now shipping with the company's workstations SecondLook 300 and 700.
"It is the latest algorithm that works across our product line," said Jeff Barnes, iCAD senior vice president of sales. "It is the only thing we are shipping now."
A variation of this version is designed for use on FujiFilm Medical USA's CR mammography product, Barnes noted. This particular software, optimized for CR, is still pending FDA approval, however.
CAD v7.2, like preceding versions, automatically identifies and marks areas of a digital mammogram. This latest software, however, has improved sensitivity to subtle cancers with fewer false positives and more understandable indications, according to Dr. Rachel Brem, an early evaluator of the software and director of breast imaging and intervention at the George Washington University Medical Center in Washington, DC.
The company claims CAD v7.2 reduces the number of false markings in SecondLook output. Brem reports that tests at GWU Medical Center showed a significant improvement in mass detection.

New Research Examines Socioeconomic Factors with Mammography No-Shows
April 10th 2024Patients with Medicaid or means-tested insurance were over 27 percent more likely to miss mammography appointments, and only 65 percent of women with three of more adverse social determinants of health had a mammography exam in a two-year period covering 2020 and 2021, according to new research and a report from the CDC.
Mammography Study: AI Improves Breast Cancer Detection and Reduces Reading Time with DBT
April 3rd 2024An emerging artificial intelligence (AI) model demonstrated more than 12 percent higher specificity and reduced image reading time by nearly six seconds in comparison to unassisted radiologist interpretation of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) images.
