Mammography CAD upgrade provides users with flexibility
An upgrade to the computer-aided detection product line from R2 Technology gives users a choice of operating points to set different sensitivity/false marker rates for microcalcifications and masses in the breast. The enhanced system allows users to set sensitivity to their own comfort levels, providing unprecedented flexibility, according to the company.

The enhanced system allows users to set sensitivity to their own comfort levels, providing unprecedented flexibility, according to the company.
The flexible operating points feature is part of R2's new software release, ImageChecker Version 8.1 Mammography CAD, which is displayed at the RSNA meeting. This version is being made available across the company's mammography CAD product line and to its entire installed base as an upgrade.
Version 8.1 includes two other major features. The new Malc Mark identifies regions of breast tissue that contain both a mass and calcifications. EmphaSize variable size CAD marks correlate the size of a CAD mark with the potential for malignancy: Small marks reflect a lower chance of malignancy, and large marks indicate more suspicious findings.

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.
