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.

CMS has more than doubled the CCTA payment rate from $175 to $357.13. The move, expected to have a significant impact on the utilization of cardiac CT, received immediate praise from imaging specialists.

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.
