Computer-aided detection (CAD) firm iCAD of Nashua, NH, plans to debut a new version of its VeraLook CAD software for CT colonography (CTC) at the European Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (ESGAR) annual meeting in Dresden, Germany, in June.
VeraLook is available in Europe under CE Mark approval; in the U.S., it is pending clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The software detects and highlights potential polyps during CTC examinations, and the newest version features performance improvements including a greater than 5% increase in the sensitivity of potential polyp detection and a 20% reduction in false positives, according to iCAD.
Bichat Hospital in Paris has recently installed VeraLook for CTC and is using it with a V3D workstation from Viatronix of Stony Brook, NY, iCAD said.

![Axial images from unenhanced calcium score cardiac CT (left) and curved planar reformation images from CT angiography (right) show that higher long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with greater coronary artery calcium and more obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Top row: Images in a 68-year-old male patient with higher 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (7.9 μg/m3 for particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm in diameter [PM2.5] and 17.4 parts per billion [ppb] for NO2) with extensive CAD (coronary artery calcium score [CACS] >1,000 and obstructive CAD [≥70% diameter stenosis]). Bottom row: Images in a 57-year-old female patient with lower 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (6.3 μg/m3 for PM2.5 and 4.6 ppb for NO2) with no CAD (CACS = 0 and no obstructive stenosis).](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/hanneman.r6SMLzkezo.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
