Medipattern nets Italian install

General Hospital in Gorizia, Italy, has installed Medipattern’s B-CAD 2.0.

The Toronto-based Medipattern said its B-CAD analyzes images created on the GE Healthcare Logiq 9 ultrasound system and sends them to the GE Logiqworks radiologist review station. B-CAD analyzes the specified regions of interest, finding the edge of the lesion and identifying characteristics which indicate that the lesion is probably benign or malignant. B-CAD then collects the information into a natural language report, which is communicated to Loqiqworks for inclusion with the images in the patient record, Medipattern said.

The newly cleared offering, AutoChamber, was designed with opportunistic screening in mind. It can evaluate many different kinds of CT images, including those originally gathered to screen patients for lung cancer.
