Hudson Valley Hospital Center invests in advanced breast cancer detection

Hudson Valley Hospital Center in Cortlandt Manor, N.Y., recently purchased a Second Look 300 mammography CAD system from iCAD Inc. 

The iCAD system uses a patented CAD algorithm to mark areas of interest that may warrant a "second look" by the radiologist. After the primary read, the interpreting radiologist can review the CAD results to check specific areas of concern.

 "As a leading healthcare institution, Hudson Valley Hospital Center is committed to investing in the most advanced medical equipment," states Dr. Maurice Poplausky, director of diagnostic imaging at the hospital. "iCAD's cutting-edge detection technology enables us to better serve our patients by identifying breast cancer earlier."
