Confirma breast MRI CAD provider for RadNet Management

Confirma Inc. will provide its CADstream system to RadNet Management Inc., a California provider of medical imaging services, making it the exclusive breast MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) CAD (computer aided detection) system for RadNet's 55 diagnostic imaging centers.

RadNet previously bought two CADstream systems and the agreement includes an additional sale and installation of two more CADstream systems with the option to buy additional systems as the number of RadNet sites increases.

CADstream's automated features include image registration, subtractions, angiogenesis maps, interactive real-time contrast curves, multiplanar reformatting, maximum intensity projections (MIPs), volume summaries and the SureLoc interventional guidance tool.
