The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has signed off on a premarket approval (PMA) application from Siemens Medical Solutions for its syngo Lung computer-aided detection (CAD) software for assisting radiologists in the detection of solid lung nodules in CT chest exams.
The Malvern, PA-based company noted that syngo Lung was validated in a multicenter, multireader study of approximately 200 cases reviewed by 17 radiologists using data from four U.S. medical centers.
syngo Lung CAD is second-generation nodule detection software from Siemens, following syngo LungCARE NEV (nodule-enhanced viewing), which was introduced in December 2003 and has more than 500 installations worldwide.
