Dayton, Ohio — February 16, 2011 — Riverain Medical, an industry leader and innovator in computer-aided detection (CAD) and advanced visualization technologies, today announced a poster presentation, “A Superior Chest X-Ray Computer-Aided Detection (CXR CADe) Application: A Reader Study,” has been published on the European Society of Radiology’s website. Investigators compared two versions of Riverain Medical’s computer-aided detection (CAD) technology, OnGuard™ 5.1 and OnGuard 1.0. The study found radiologists using OnGuard 5.1 were able to detect smaller lung nodules, including those that were primary lung cancer.
“By using OnGuard 5.1 in tandem with a standard chest X-ray, our radiologists are now able to detect smaller lung nodules that would have previously gone unnoticed,” said Dr. Matthew Freedman, principal investigator of the study and Associate Professor of oncology at the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.

This is a good new way to detect lung cancer nodules. Thankfully, we have radiology or xray continuing education programs that can help us study new innovations and techniques like this one.
