CHICAGO, Nov. 27—Confirma, an application-specific computer-assisted detection (CAD) company for MRI, and Penrad Technologies, a mammography reporting company, are integrating between Confirma’s CADstream for breast MRI and Penrad’s mammography information system, which is being showcased this week at the 93rd annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

“The Penrad-CADstream integration…addresses a critical workflow need for breast imagers, which is a large segment of the breast MRI market. The ability to standardize and streamline reporting will further expand adoption of breast MRI,” according to Wayne Wager, president and CEO of Confirma.
