(Booth 5515) Medipattern will highlight new versions of its B-CAD breast ultrasound CAD software, which is designed to work in both turnkey environments and as part of offerings from the Toronto company's corporate partners.
B-CAD 1.2.1 Turn Key Solution and B-CAD 1.2.1 Software Solution are different flavors of the company's version 1.2.1 software that represent a step forward in connectivity and workflow, according to Medipattern. The software finds lesion edges; characterizes lesions automatically for size, shape, and orientation; and generates a natural-language report containing complete BI-RADS information. The software is currently being shipped only in the U.S.
Also look for Medipattern to discuss a version of the 1.2.1 platform developed for the C4 platform of Cedara Software of Mississauga, Ontario.
Medipattern will also discuss B-CAD 2.2 Software Solution, both as a standalone product and as a plug-in module for PACS software from Sectra of Linköping, Sweden. In addition to other features, the software enables radiologists to assess lesions using BI-RADS criteria. The software is available in international markets, but is not available yet in the U.S. and will be shown as a work-in-progress.
![Examples of ultrasound findings and techniques. (A) Images in a 39-year-old male patient with a mass in the left thigh. The mass is heterogeneous on the B-mode US image (compared with the patient in D) and showed increased microvascularity (superb microvascular imaging [SMI]) and shear-wave elastography (SWE) values. Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma was diagnosed at biopsy (with pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma in surgical specimen). (B) Images in an 18-year-old male patient with a mass in the left leg. The mass is hypoechoic on the B-mode image, with no other findings suggestive of malignancy. The lesion is in contact with the cortex of the tibia, which is slightly irregular. CT revealed a doubtful anteromedial tibial erosion. The microvascular study demonstrated high vascularization, suggestive of malignancy. Periosteal Ewing sarcoma was diagnosed with both histologic and immunohistochemical confirmation. (C) Images in a 69-year-old female patient with a lump growing on the outside of the left leg. Multiple SWE examinations were performed (please note the high values obtained in the measurements, whereas the color map highlights the stiffness relative to adjacent tissues). SMI showed areas of increased vascularization to target for sampling. Undifferentiated spindle cell sarcoma was diagnosed at biopsy, with residual leiomyosarcoma in the surgical specimen after neoadjuvant therapy. (D) Images in a 56-year-old female patient with a mass in the right thigh. The mass is heterogeneous at both B-mode ultrasound (similar to patient A) and MRI (coronal T2-weighted spectral attenuated inversion recovery [SPAIR]; T1-weighted pre-contrast and postcontrast imaging), which even shows uptake after the administration of paramagnetic contrast material, which is traditionally suggestive of malignancy. Low values at SMI and elastography are suggestive of benignity. Spindle cell lipoma was diagnosed at biopsy, with atypical spindle cell lipomatous tumor in the surgical specimen.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/08/images-radiol250278fig2.APCFLSvX6p.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
