Fischer commences shipments of Cedara's SenoView workstation

Fischer Imaging Corp. today said it has begun initial shipments of Cedara Software Corp.'s softcopy mammography workstation, SenoView Plus.

SenoView Plus is integrated with Fischer's SenoScan digital mammography system to provide radiologists with new capabilities for diagnosing breast cancer. The system allows radiologists to compare SenoScan digital mammography images and FFDM (full field digital mammography) images with multi-modality images, such as ultrasound and MRI scans.

According to Fischer, hospitals that have installed or are about to install the workstations include: Mt. Sinai Hospital; Marvelle Koffler Breast Centre, Toronto; City Hospital, Martinsburg, W. Va.; and Sansum Santa Barbara Medical Foundation Clinic, Calif.
