TECHNOLOGY PREVIEWS CAD Extends Radiology’s Reach More, faster and better is the mantra of CAD today. Studies show that the accuracy of CAD is increasing in a variety of areas, and the industry is watching as vendors balance sensitivity and false-positive marks so as not to bog down image interpretation and accuracy. While many of the applications are seeking regulatory approval for use within the United States, some developers will be unveiling their nextgeneration product enhancements. EDDA Technology’s IQQA-Chest Enterprise CAD solution for CR/DR Intuitive Imaging Informatics’ Mammography on Rational Imaging PACS Median Technologies’ LMS-Lung/ Track: a lung lesion follow-up. Carestream Health (Booth 8342) is showcasing CAD for CRbased mammography. In addition to CAD for ﬁlm-based mammography, Carestream is offering CAD software for its CR-based mammography platforms, as well as CAD software for other vendors’ full-ﬁeld digital mammography (FFDM) systems. The CAD for CR and FFDM solutions are currently available for sale outside of the United States. EDDA Technology (Booth 203) is rolling out its IQQA-Liver Enterprise, which provides a toolset for assessment of volumetry of liver, liver lobes and segments, hepatic lesions and vascular structures from multidetector CT. The integration of computer analysis and the real-time interactive 2D/3D editing capabilities allows for volumetric evaluation. The system performs anatomic phase registration to allow visualization and cross-referencing of lesion location and characteristics across the different phases. IQQA-Liver provides automated segmentation tools and additional multiple real-time interactive tools for the segmentation and reﬁnement of liver, vessels, lesions, liver lobes and segments. Quantitative measurements are extracted from segmented and labeled volumes. The company’s IQQA Chest Enterprise offers a new-generation enterprise CAD solution for chest DR/CR, which provides a 44 Health Imaging & IT | November 2008 set of real-time interactive tools to support physicians in the identiﬁcation, conﬁrmation and quantiﬁcation of lung nodules. iCAD (Booth 6250) is launching new CAD analysis and clinical decision support tools that work in combination with CT and MRI. The company also is showcasing its SecondLook CAD system for mammography which offers compatibility with full-ﬁeld digital mammography solutions—both DR and CR. The company is highlighting SecondLook Digital CAD for Fujiﬁlm CR systems, which has received FDA approval. iCAD also is demonstrating its ﬁlm digitizing solution, TotalLook MammoAdvantage (TLMA). iCAD’s mammography-speciﬁc digitizer, TLMA, offers improved image quality and image customization options to centers moving from analog to digital mammography. Intuitive Imaging Informatics (Booth 4655) is featuring Mammography on Rational Imaging PACS which meets standards compliance requirements, including HIPAA, DICOM, IHE, HL7 and SQL. For mammography reading on Rational Imaging PACS, the system employs templates laying out available series that are capable of displaying CAD overlays.
