iCAD debuts digital CAD technology in Europe

iCAD, a developer of computer-aided detection (CAD) software, has debuted its SecondLook digital CAD technology, customized for use with Sectra’s MicroDose Mammography system in Europe.

“Sectra’s photon-counting technology provides a clearer, easier-to-read image due to high resolution, high DQE and low electronic noise,” according to Jean-Claude Piguet, MD, from ImageRive, the institution of postgraduate studies for the Université de Genève in Geneva, Switzerland.

The Nashua, N.H.-based iCAD said it has received CE mark approval to market and sell its technology with Sectra’s mammography systems. The units have been placed at the ImageRive Radiology Institute and Aarhus Hospital in Aarhus, Denmark.
