Computer-aided detection (CAD) developer Caelum Research of Rockville, MD, has received two National Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grants from the National Cancer Institute. A phase II grant from NCI will provide continued support for Caelum’s research on computer-aided diagnosis for enhancement of thoracic CT images, according to the Rockville, MD-based firm.
Another phase I grant is for the detection of lung cancer via registered temporal images, according to the firm. Caelum spun off CAD firm Deus Technologies in 1998.
