Dutch imaging vendor Pie Medical Imaging presented the new version of its CAAS Quantitative Coronary Analysis for Research software (CAAS QCA-R) at the American College of Cardiology meeting in Orlando, FL, earlier this month.
The CAAS QCA-R software offers automatic contour detection of the coronary arteries and analysis of its dimensions, according to the Maastricht, Netherlands-based Pie. In the new release, the CAAS QCA-R package has been extended with functionalities to evaluate the effectiveness of drug-eluting stents, allowing the analysis of the proximal, distal, and stented segment.
Other improvements include optimized multiple subsegment analysis, expanded subsegmental data analysis, and floating licensing, the company said.

![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.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/07/2026-07-14-radiology-mammogram-ai-auto-bias.H0bYO8QlWs.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
