iCAD releases SecondLook Digital with Planmed FFDM systems

iCAD has released its SecondLook Digital computer-aided detection (CAD) technology customized for use with the Planmed Nuance full-field digital mammography (FFDM) system that is now available outside the United States.

The Nashua, N.H.-based iCAD said it has received CE mark approval to market and sell its solution with Planmed Nuance FFDM systems, and units have been placed at Terveystalo Breast Cancer Screening Center in Helsinki, Finland.

“Our partnership with Planmed marks an important step in iCAD’s mammography strategy,” said Ken Ferry, president and CEO of iCAD. “Coupling our SecondLook CAD technology with Planmed’s Nuance FFDM system is a key element in our overall goal to increase the use of iCAD’s systems in markets around the globe to better enable clinicians to identify breast cancer earlier.”
