Computer-aided detection (CAD) developer R2 Technology has launched its ImageChecker CT Lung Version 2.0 CAD software system and AutoPoint temporal comparison feature for use during review of multidetector-row CT chest exams.
The latest iteration of the visualization application features enhancements to R2's CT lung CAD algorithm as well as expanded PACS integration, according to the Sunnyvale, CA-based company.
An AutoPoint temporal comparison option uses automatic 3D registration to enable physicians to track nodule changes over time, R2 said.
The system also provides a tabular report featuring key images and information on nodule volume and density changes, as well as a nodule's estimated growth doubling time, a measure of the likelihood of the nodule being malignant, the developer said.
