Ikonopedia’s 1st mobile installation drives breast cancer screening at Alinea Medical Imaging
Ikonopedia, a breast radiology reporting and tracking company, announced it has completed the installation of its structured breast reporting and risk assessment tools at Alinea Medical Imaging—the first to include imaging centers and mobile mammography systems.
The announcement came March 12 at the National Consortium of Breast Centers’ 28th annual National Interdisciplinary Breast Center Conference in Las Vegas.
"We are proud to work with dedicated imaging providers…to deliver robust breast imaging tools that streamline and improve the accuracy of reporting and provide additional capabilities such as risk assessment,” said Emily Crane, CEO of Ikonopedia in a press release. “It is extremely gratifying that these tools can make them more efficient and help deliver the best breast imaging services possible.”
In response to the new FDA-mandated image quality requirements, Ikonopedia offers a series of new tools to help breast imaging practices comply with the Enhancing Quality Using the Inspection Program (EQUIP) requirements. Additionally, the company allows for multiple mobile stops to be grouped together as a single virtual site for quality review purposes. This may greatly reduce the number of exams that need to be reviewed for a heavily mobile institution.
