Intuitive’s design has a methodology ensuring review of available image and CAD overlay. Median Technologies (Booth 9157) is showcasing its Median LMS—Lesion Management Solutions that include clinical applications for the management of cancerous or other suspicious lesions diagnosed in chest and abdominal CT scans. LMS applications include LMS-Liver, LMS-Lung/Track, LMS-Lung and LMS-Colon. Median LMS-Lung and LMS-Liver assist the radiologist in all steps from lesion detection, measurement and follow-up to report generation for the referring physicians. LMS applications generate reports according to RECIST criteria used to evaluate the response to treatment of solid tumors. Median LMS-Colon, which is not yet FDA approved for sale in the U.S., is specialized for CT colonography interpretation. Medicsight (Booth 4076) is highlighting its works-in-progress ColonCAD product that the company expects to be available for clinical use in the United States during the ﬁrst half of 2009. The software tool improves the accuracy and productivity of detecting polyps in the colon. By using an advanced CAD algorithm to review CT scan data and highlight speciﬁc regions of interest, Medicsight ColonCAD provides a valuable tool for reviewing clinicians to support their search for abnormalities within the colon. Medipattern (Booth 5875) is introducing enhancements to its B-CAD breast imaging CAD solution. B-CAD brings a solution to breast ultrasound imaging that combines CAD with structured digital reporting. B-CAD v1.3, available in the United States, and B-CAD v2.3, available outside of the U.S., are the ﬁrst breast ultrasound CAD tools to provide decision-making support for lesion analysis. Sonographers can view the prior exam and prior reports in B-CAD, and then take all of the patient notes and describe images and measurements in a digital format. The digital worksheet can be sent to radiologists to review in B-CAD or on PACS workstations. B-CAD v2.3 is available in Chinese, French, German, Italian and Spanish, as well as English. Riverain Medical (Booth 1309) is displaying its OnGuard chest x-ray CAD technology. Used in conjunction with the reading of standard digital chest x-rays, OnGuard identiﬁes solitary pulmonary nodules that may be early-stage lung cancer. Siemens Healthcare (Booth 922) is showcasing syngo Lung CAD, syngo CXR CAD and syngo MammoCAD. syngo Lung CAD automatically detects solid pulmonary nodules in thoracic CT studies. The CAD tool plays a role as a second reader to aid in the interpretation of complex chest CT data sets. syngo Lung CAD is available on the syngo MultiModality Workplace for use with syngo CT Oncology. syngo CXR CAD, which is not yet FDA-approved for sale in the U.S., is a second-reader product for the detection of lung nodules in digital chest x-ray studies. syngo CXR CAD processes images of the posterior-anterior view and is optimized for the detection of lung nodules from 8mm to 30mm in size. syngo CXR CAD is validated for use with images from the Siemens Axiom Aristos digital x-ray system, and the results can be displayed on PACS workstations. syngo MammoCAD, which is not yet FDA-approved for sale in the U.S., is a CAD solution for full-ﬁeld digital mammography and generates CAD marks to highlight suspicious areas, such as masses and microcalciﬁcations. In combination with the syngo MammoReport workstation, additional features include: breast density in MammoBrowser; additional CAD information provide the number of calciﬁcations in a cluster and corridor of interest, an identiﬁcation of marked lesion in second view using CAD ﬁndings.
