CAD software developer Confirma plans to highlight its breast MR image processing CAD technology, CADstream. The Kirkland, WA-based company introduced its next generation CADstream in May.

The device features multiplanar reformatting (MPR), angiogenesis maps, maximum intensity projections (MIP), and an updated version of its CAD analysis tool, SureLoc, for MR-guided interventional procedures that allows physicians to calculate coordinates or targets for MR-guided interventions using a breast coil at the point of procedure.

SureLoc now reports needle position for both grid and pillar methods in real time, and displays images and needle position in the patient's orientation. CADstream also has a remote user interface called CADalyst, which allows MRI studies to be read anywhere within a high-speed network. It also includes an adaptive registration (2D/3D) algorithm.

In August, Confirma signed a three-year agreement with Insight Health to provide CADstream to selected locations within InSight Health's network of 239 fixed-site and mobile facilities. Over 200 imaging centers worldwide now use CADstream, according to Confirma.

MRI radiomics model predicts risk in women with DCIS

April 1, 2025

Full-field digital screening mammograms in participants recalled by the consensus discussion after being flagged by artificial intelligence (AI) computer-aided detection (CAD) but not by either of the two radiologists. (A) Mammogram with AI CAD score of 73 for a 55-year-old woman diagnosed with grade 3 in situ cancer and T1 (9-mm) invasive cancer in the left breast and lymph node metastasis. (B) Mammogram with AI CAD score of 54 for a 49-year-old woman diagnosed with grade 2 in situ cancer and T1 (6-mm) invasive cancer in the right breast and without lymph node metastasis.

Do radiologists trust mammography AI software?

By Erik L. Ridley

A large-scale prospective trial exploring the use of mammography AI software in a breast cancer screening program has found that recalls were lower when cases were flagged by AI.
