Computer-aided detection (CAD) firm iCAD has initiated a clinical study of a colon CAD program in partnership with ACR Image Metrix, the Nashua, NH-based firm said.
Colon CAD, iCAD's virtual colonoscopy CAD product, uses image processing analysis technology to identify polyps in images.
iCAD and ACR Image Metrix (a subsidiary of the American College of Radiology of Reston, VA) have completed the development portion of the project and are working together on implementing a multireader, multicase study designed to evaluate the impact of Colon CAD on the accuracy of interpreting CT colonography exams, according to iCAD.
