Medicsight

Medicsight (Booth 4076) is highlighting its ColonCAD product, which is expected to be available for clinical use in the United States during the first half of 2009. The software tool improves the accuracy and productivity of detecting polyps in the colon. By using an advanced CAD algorithm to review CT scan data and highlight specific regions of interest, Medicsight ColonCAD provides a valuable tool for reviewing clinicians to support their search for abnormalities within the colon that may be the early precursors of disease.
