iCAD, TeraRecon join forces

Jul 11, 2004

Computer-aided detection developer iCAD and 3D software provider TeraRecon have signed a nonexclusive product licensing and distribution agreement.

Under the terms of the three-year deal, San Mateo, CA-based TeraRecon will develop a server-based product to include iCAD's lung cancer detection, analysis, and tracking software in various configurations. The server will be a standalone product designed to work in concert with existing PACS and DICOM review equipment and other products in TeraRecon's Aquarius product line, according to iCAD of Nashua, NH, and TeraRecon.

TeraRecon has licensed three CAD modules, including the firm's QuickCue package for automated detection of cancerous lung nodules, and QuickMatch software for automated location, comparison, and tracking of cancerous lung nodules in previous or subsequent patient studies. The third module, QuickChange, provides assistance in analyzing and evaluating lung cancers by providing quantitative descriptions of lesions based on contrast enhancement studies, according to the companies.

Worldwide distribution will take place through TeraRecon's direct sales force, independent resellers/distributors, and OEM partnerships. The server and associated advanced-review licenses will be offered to new TeraRecon customers, as well as the company's installed base. The companies anticipate product release in 2005.
