Volpara Debuts Enhanced Breast Imaging Metrics
Volpara to present at RSNA 2014 next generation of VolparaAnalytics.
Volpara will showcase at RSNA 2014 VolparaAnalytics version 1.2.
Volpara Analytics is a centralized dashboard that presents key mammography metrics and automatically collates data from digital mammography and tomosynthesis units to enable cross-comparison of patient populations, mammography systems, and operator performance, Volpara said.
The new version of VolparaAnalytics will feature an enhanced user interface and reporting tools, and deliver expanded breast imaging metrics to users including additional quality metrics, new temporal analysis tools, additional tools to analyze patient positioning and patient dose, and time between study acquisition, Volpara said.
VolparaAnalytics runs on top of VolparaDensity, a software tool that helps radiologists objectively assess density from both digital mammography and tomosynthesis images and determine which women would benefit from additional screening.
