Women’s imaging vendor Hologic and computer-aided detection (CAD) developer R2 Technology have reported that the Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of R2's CAD technology customized for use with Hologic's Selenia full-field digital mammography (FFDM) system.
Under the terms of an agreement with R2 signed in July 2003, Hologic has exclusive worldwide distribution rights to sell the R2-customized product in combination with its Selenia system. In addition, Hologic has distribution rights for R2 CAD products for use with conventional film-based mammography systems that can be upgraded to digital mammography systems. The agreement is for an initial term of five years, Hologic said.
