NASHUA, N.H., Oct. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- iCAD(R), Inc. , an industry-leading provider of Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) solutions, today announced that installations of their TotalLook(TM) system have been completed at mammography centers using each of the three currently available digital mammography systems -- GE Healthcare, Siemens Medical Systems, and Hologic, Inc. TotalLook is the next generation imaging solution -- a comprehensive film-to-digital offering that converts prior film mammograms into digital form for comparison with current images from a digital mammography system. By delivering digitized images to the current mammography workstation, radiologists can view the “total look” when screening and comparing a patient’s multi-year record of breast examinations.
At Catholic Medical Center (CMC) in Manchester, New Hampshire, the TotalLook solution assists radiologists in the important examination step of comparing breast images year to year to detect potentially subtle changes which may be indicative of breast cancer. These subtle changes can be the factors that assist radiologists in their decision to either “wait and see” or take further action in identifying a suspicious mark on a mammogram. According to Michael Cloutier, radiology administrator at CMC, “Working in conjunction with our GE Senographe DS digital Mammography system and our SecondLook(R) Digital CAD System for GE, TotalLook allows CMC to offer our patients the most advanced technology available to detect breast cancer earlier. It identifies subtle changes to a patient’s mammogram over the course of that patient’s entire mammography history with us.”
Don Alvarez, Director of Women’s Healthcare for Siemens Medical Solutions USA, commented on installation of the new iCAD product with the Siemens Mammomat Full Field Digital Mammography System. “TotalLook connects easily with our systems via DICOM. Film mammograms are being digitized and flow straight through to our review workstation for easier comparative interpretation,” stated Alvarez.
Streamlined for high-productivity, iCAD’s TotalLook solution offers GE, Siemens and Hologic digital mammography users the ability to:
-- Automatically retrieve and receive patient information from HL-7 or DICOM worklists -- Digitize standard mammography films in 23 seconds -- Capture the full fidelity of the original film mammogram in each digitized image -- Track and label records in industry-standard DICOM format -- Send complete records to multiple DICOM destinations simultaneously -- Display high-resolution digitized images on many DICOM workstations in any hanging protocol
“iCAD offers solutions for improved breast care to both film-based and digital women’s healthcare providers,” said W. Scott Parr, President and CEO of iCAD, Inc. “Our TotalLook system is in many ways a bridge between these workflows, making it easier for providers to make the film to digital transition. We have seen significant interest in the TotalLook product, and are pleased to see immediate purchases supporting each of the major digital mammography brands.”
