Kodak's Mammography Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) System

Kodak's Mammography Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) System improves cancer detection in screening and diagnostic mammograms with the Mammography Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) System. Improved algorithms now provide even more efficient identification of image areas that warrant a second review. Optional DICOM export functionality eases your transition from film to digital imaging.

A clinical study found that 39.4% of missed cancers (or 77.9% of actionable cancers) could have been detected 14.8 months sooner with the use of the Kodak CAD System versus a radiologist reading alone. It also improves algorithm performance thus enabling radiologists to work even more efficiently with fewer false-positives markers.
