iCAD ' Advanced Image Analysis Solutions for Early Detection of Cancer Help Improve Patient Care

iCAD , Inc., an industry-leading provider of advanced image analysis and workflow solutions for the early identification of cancer, announces its schedule of events at the  ECR 2010 ( European Society of Radiology annual meeting ) being held in Vienna, Austria, from March 4 – 8, 2010.

“At ECR10 , we will feature leading-edge technologies for computer-aided detection applied to digital mammography and CT colonography, as well as quantitative image analysis and workflow solutions for breast and prostate MRI ,” said Ken Ferry, President and CEO of iCAD. “We continue to see an increase in CAD adoption in Europe, particularly with digital mammography as the European market continues its transition from film-based technology to digital cancer detection solutions.”

At ECR 10 , iCAD will showcase several advanced image analysis and clinical decision support solutions that work in combination with magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ), digital mammography and computed tomography ( CT ) imaging modalities.

For MRI technologies, iCAD will highlight:

• VividLook quantitative image analysis solution for prostate MRI provides more diagnostic information by utilizing all time points, creating colorized images based on signal changes defined by tumor physiology. This post processing software package is designed to provide a reliable means of visualizing the presence and pattern of contrast induced enhancement of MRI images in the prostate, helping radiologists distinguish benign from malignant lesions.
• SpectraLook quantitative image analysis and workflow solution for breast MRI is designed to assist radiologists in distinguishing potential cancers in the breast as part of their overall analysis of the MRI procedure results. It provides radiologists with more diagnostic information by creating colorized image maps based on direct signal changes due to contrast agent influx and efflux rates using key physiological measures that relate to tumor physiology.
• PrecisionPoint interventional planning solution for breast MRI, provides radiologists with an automatic calculation of the location and depth of a targeted region of interest making biopsies easier, faster and more reliable for both grid and post and pillar methods.
• CADvue MRI review software and analysis solution, offers maximum functionality for facilitating the analysis of all available time points (ATP) colorized image maps and quantitative data. CADvue allows the user to create standard and customized reports that enable the radiologist to communicate time-sensitive breast and prostate MRI study results to referring physicians.

For digital mammography, iCAD will highlight:

• SecondLook Premier Digital CAD system, is the next generation in digital mammography CAD from iCAD. SecondLook Premier incorporates CAD lesion metrics to provide clinicians with insight into the system’s decision-making process. Built completely on digital datasets iCAD believes this product will improve density detection sensitivities and help lower the rate of false positives. It also includes a breast density assessment system.
• SecondLook Digital Multivendor solution, a license-based product designed to provide image analysis to hospitals and radiology facilities using several different OEM technologies for digital mammography.

For CT CAD solutions, iCAD will demonstrate:

• VeraLook, iCAD’s revolutionary CAD solution for virtual colonoscopy (CTC). This solution is designed to aid radiologists in the detection of polyps during their review of CTC exams. Clinical evidence suggests that CAD for CTC will enhance radiologist effectiveness in interpreting CTC studies.

Important presentations and conference sessions discussing the use of computer-aided detection ( CAD) and other advanced image analysis solutions for the early detection of cancer will be available electronically. These include:
