FDA approves bundling of iCAD's SecondLook with Fujifilm's CR mammo

The FDA has approved iCAD’s SecondLook digital computer-aided detection (CAD) system for mammography to sell with Fujifilm Medical Systems’ Computed Radiography for Mammography (FCRm) systems. 

SecondLook digital for FCRm is the first CAD product approved and available in the United States for use with CR, according to the Nashua, N.H.-based iCAD.

“CAD improves upon existing mammography systems by providing an ability to find overlooked cancers, helping the radiologist find cancer earlier and ultimately improve the level of care for every patient,” said Rachel Brem, MD, director of breast imaging and interventional care at the George Washington University Hospital in Washington, D.C.

“Fujifilm and iCAD are prepared for a fast market roll-out,” said Ken Ferry, president and CEO of iCAD.
