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.
