iCAD, MagView to begin technology partnership

iCAD Inc. this week announced a technology partnership agreement with Applied Software Inc. which conducts business as MagView. Per the agreement, iCAD's Second Look 300 and 700 CAD systems can be integrated with MagView's mammography information software for gains in productivity and speed, the companies said.

iCAD's Second Look systems are designed to aid radiologists in the early detection of breast cancer during a mammography exam, whereas MagView's system tracks and reports mammography results using information obtained from iCAD's Second Look system. The reporting functions of the CAD and mammography will be combined in one workstation.
