Confirma debuts next generation of CADstream

Computer-aided detection (CAD) for MRI provider Confirma Inc. introduced CADstream 3.1 equipped with a CAD-analysis tool, SureLoc, for more convenient and efficient MRI-guided interventional procedures.

The combined technology allows physicians to calculate coordinates or targets for MR-guided interventions using a breast coil at the point-of-procedure, said Confirma.

New features of CADStream include remote-viewing, allowing MRI studies to be read anywhere within a high-speed network and a 2D AutoROI feature, which identifies uptake and washout characteristics within a user-defined 2D region of interest or image slice.

The new technology shows early potential to make a significant impact on imaging workflows and patient care.

The two companies aim to improve patient access to high-quality MRI scans by combining their artificial intelligence capabilities.
