TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - December 17, 2007) - The Medipattern Corporation (TSX VENTURE: MKI), an award-winning developer of computer-aided detection (CAD) medical imaging software designed to aid physicians in making better informed biopsy decisions and to permit a higher standard of care for the millions of patients at risk of cancer, is pleased to announce the installation of B-CAD 2.0 at General Hospital in Gorizia, Italy. B-CAD is analyzing images created on the GE Healthcare LOGIQ® 9 Ultrasound System and sent to the GE Healthcare LOGIQworks radiologist review station. B-CAD analyzes the specified regions of interest, finding the edge of the lesion and identifying characteristics which indicate that the lesion is probably benign or probably malignant. B-CAD then collects the information into a natural language report, which is communicated to LOGIQworks for inclusion with the images in the patient record. The system provides a single station for reading, using CAD, reporting, and finalizing the report - a breakthrough in streamlining workflow for the entire process from image capture to reporting.
