Computer-aided detection (CAD) developer Medicsight and advanced visualization software developer Viatronix said that Medicsight's ColonCAD software and Viatronix's V3D-Colon workstation will be used in the SIGGAR1 U.K. CT colonography clinical trial.
Viatronix U.K. sales and service provider Vertec Scientific will be installing the combined Viatronix/Medicsight imaging systems at all 15 SIGGAR1 trial sites around the U.K., according to Medicsight of London and Viatronix of Stony Brook, NY.
The multicenter trial, conducted by the Special Interest Group for Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (SIGGAR) and sponsored by the National Health Service (NHS) Health Technology Assessment (HTA) program, will compare CT colonography with barium enema and optical colonoscopy for diagnosis of colon cancer in older symptomatic patients in the U.K. Results are expected in 2008.
