Laurel Bridge Software has secured a contract with Imidex to provide that firm with its Compass Routing Workflow Manager and Exodus Migration and Consolidation Controller image data software.
Imidex will use the Laurel Bridge software in a clinical study it is conducting for the detection of incidental lung nodules using its work-in-progress VisiRad computer-aided detection platform.
Data from confirmed lung cancer patients who are participating in the study will be anonymized by Exodus and exported to Compass, which will then route the images to VisiRad's cloud server, Laurel Bridge said. Imidex is conducting the study as part of a 510(k) submission it is generating for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
![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)
