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.
