Cedara teams with Kodak on B-CAD

Cedara Software of Mississauga, Ontario, has entered into a distribution agreement with Eastman Kodak of Rochester, NY, to package Cedara B-CAD breast ultrasound computer-aided detection (CAD) package with Kodak's CareStream Mammography Workstation. Kodak will distribute Cedara B-CAD to its worldwide customers as part of its CareStream system.

B-CAD was developed by Medipattern and Cedara, and received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration in May of this year. It performs automatic image analysis, segmentation, and classification of images, and creates standardized reports as dictated by the American College of Radiology's Ultrasound Lexicon Classification Form.

Kodak's CareStream Mammography Workstation supports both screening and diagnostic imaging, and can be used as a standalone unit or as part of a larger mammography system. It can view and store full-field digital mammography (FFDM) images and data from multiple vendors, as well as digitized film, ultrasound, magnetic resonance, computed radiography, nuclear medicine, and PET images.

DBT-based foundational model classifies breast density
By Amerigo Allegretto
DBT-DINO showed strong performance in classifying breast density from DBT images.

(A) Free-response receiver operating characteristic (FROC) curve for DBT-DINO and DINOv2 (Meta AI) on the detection task. DINOv2 achieved higher sensitivity than DBT-DINO across most false-positive thresholds. (B) Detection rates of DBT-DINO and DINOv2 for lesions that were ultimately found to be benign (n = 70) and lesions that were found to be cancerous (n = 66). Error bars represent 95% CIs estimated via patient-level bootstrapping with 1000 repetitions. Both models showed similar detection rates for cancerous lesions, whereas DINOv2 detected more benign lesions than DBT-DINO. (C) Example bounding box predictions for DBT-DINO and DINOv2 on the detection test set. Each image is a single two-dimensional section from a three-dimensional digital breast tomosynthesis volume; the first column shows a mediolateral oblique view, and the second and third columns show craniocaudal views. Both models struggled to detect very small lesions, such as the 3-mm-diameter lesion shown in the first column. FP = false positive.

CEM finds breast cancer at baseline, incidence screening
By Amerigo Allegretto
Incidence screening with CEM maintains high performance and may offer more benefits over baseline CEM screening.

Images in a 70-year-old asymptomatic woman with a prior excisional biopsy in the left breast yielding lobular carcinoma in situ 3 years earlier. Screening contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) was performed, which was considered a prevalence screen as the woman had no prior breast MRI in the past 3 years and no prior CEM. (A) Low-energy (26–30 kVp) mediolateral oblique (MLO) and (B) craniocaudal (CC) views show surgical clips but no abnormality. (C) Recombined MLO and (D) CC images show an enhancing mass in the medial left breast (arrows). Biopsy revealed invasive lobular carcinoma. Size was 0.2 cm; tumor grade II/III; negative lymph nodes; and estrogen receptor–positive, progesterone receptor–positive, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–negative.

Incorrect AI suggestions influence reader performance on mammography
By Amerigo Allegretto
The biggest impact on reader performance stemmed from false-negative AI suggestions.
July 14, 2026
A normal mammogram confirmed by three-year radiologic follow-up illustrates reader-marked regions of interest (ROIs) during (A) unaided (round 1) and (B) artificial intelligence (AI)–assisted (round 2) reading. Each colored dot represents an ROI for recall by a human reader. Readers could mark more than one ROI per case, represented by multiple dots of the same color. During AI-assisted reading, the AI system displayed three visible prompts: two with suspicion of malignancy scores of 35% (left mediolateral oblique [L MLO] and craniocaudal [L CC]) and one with a suspicion of malignancy score of 10% (right craniocaudal [R CC]), shown as polygonal overlays. Without AI, six of 10 readers (60%) marked a false-positive ROI. With AI assistance, this fell to two of 10 (20%). R MLO = right mediolateral oblique.
