GE Medical Systems of Waukesha, WI, and R2 Technology of Sunnyvale, CA, have received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration to market R2’s ImageChecker CAD technology with GE’s Senographe 2000D full-field digital mammography (FFDM) system.
R2 previously received clearance in 1998 for the use of ImageChecker with digitized mammography films. The companies hope that the combination of CAD with FFDM technology will offer additional benefits to mammography facilities, such as more efficient workflow.
Today nearly 300 Senographe 2000D FFDM systems have been installed in the U.S., and all are upgradeable to R2’s CAD technology, according to GE.
