2004 JUL 1 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- iCAD, Inc., (ICAD), and Confirma, Inc., have formed a strategic alliance to offer early detection of breast cancer solutions that provide increasing integration of computer aided detection based on both mammography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

The Second Look 500M, which will be available in July, 2004, incorporates the early breast cancer detection capabilities of the iCAD Second Look family of film-based mammography products, and the CADstream system for CAD analysis of breast MR imaging.

Results of the CADstream analysis are available on the Second Look review station, allowing radiologists concurrent access to mammography and MR CAD results while reviewing original patient films.

CADstream technology enhances efficiency and workflow for breast MRI studies by automating data analysis, improving image management and correcting for patient movement, which assists radiologists in the interpretation and analysis of these data-intensive studies.

CADstream's automated features include image registration, subtractions, angiogenesis maps, interactive real-time contrast curves, multiplanar reformatting, maximum intensity projections (MIPs) ...
