Kodak Shows CAD Solutions for FFDM and CR Mammography Systems as Works-in-Progress
In addition to showing computer-aided detection (CAD) software for its CR-based mammography platforms, Eastman Kodak Company also demonstrated CAD software for full-field digital mammography systems from GE and Siemens as works-in-progress at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.
Kodak’s mammography CAD software for its KODAK DIRECTVIEW CR 850/950/975 computed radiography systems is a work-in-progress in the United States and Canada, but is scheduled to be available in Europe and other regions of the world in the first quarter of 2007. Kodak already markets a CAD system for film-based mammography, and will offer simple software upgrades to those customers who move to CR and FFDM capture solutions.
Kodak also debuted lung CAD software it is developing, along with third-party bone mineral density testing software that analyzes a digital x-ray image. Both software platforms were demonstrated with the KODAK DIRECTVIEW DR 3000 digital radiography system as works in progress.
"These solutions demonstrate our commitment to providing clinical tools from Kodak and other vendors to enhance the diagnostic capabilities of our digital and film-based imaging systems," said David Faller, General Manager of the CAD Business, Kodak’s Health Group.
Kodak also showed the integration of CONFIRMA CADSTREAM software for breast MRI exams and CEDARA B-CAD software for breast ultrasound exams with Kodak’s multi-modality KODAK CARESTREAM Mammography Workstation.
Both of these solutions facilitate the reading and interpretation of CAD results by radiologists at the same diagnostic workstation used to view the original breast exams.
Computer-aided detection software uses sophisticated algorithms to help identify suspicious areas on imaging exams so radiologists can closely examine these regions for possible disease during a second review.
CAD can be a valuable tool in the fight against breast and lung cancers, and other conditions, by helping radiologists detect diseases at an early stage.
