Mammography and x-ray firm Internazionale Medico Scientifica (IMS) of Bologna, Italy, and computer-aided detection (CAD) developer iCAD of Nashua, NH, have signed a three-year worldwide licensing and distribution agreement for CAD for digital mammography, according to the firms.
Under the terms of the agreement, IMS will integrate and distribute iCAD's Second Look Digital CAD software for use with IMS' Giotto Image full-field digital mammography (FFDM) system.
Giotto Image has been cleared for sale globally, but is not yet available for sale in the U.S. The iCAD product release is expected in 2005 for international markets, iCAD said.
