Kodak's mammography CAD system's improved algorithms now provide even more efficient identification of image areas that warrant a second review. Optional DICOM export functionality eases the transition from film to digital imaging.

A clinical study found that 39.4 per cent of missed cancers (or 77.9 per cent of actionable cancers) could have been detected 14.8 months sooner with the use of the Kodak CAD System versus a radiologist reading alone. It also improves algorithm performance thus enabling radiologists to work even more efficiently with fewer false-positives markers.

The CAD system offers a practical first step toward digital mammography. Begin your transition to digital with optional DICOM export functionality and modality work list connectivity that provides an automated link to your RIS. Film mammograms scanned for CAD can be saved as DICOM MG (digital mammography format) files - and sent immediately to single or multiple DICOM destinations.

The digitized mammograms can automatically be sent to an archive for efficient file storage. As your digital transition moves forward, the cases you digitized for CAD will be immediately available for viewing as prior exams on your PACS workstation - no light box needed.

Digitized cases can be sent to any vendor's PACS with DICOM connectivity.
