FUJIFILM Medical Systems USA Signs Agreement to Distribute iCAD Products for Growing Digital Mammography Market
iCAD Inc.'s SecondLook® Digital and TotalLook Solutions bring CAD and film digitizing capabilities to Fuji's digital mammography products
NASHUA, N.H. and STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 8 / -- iCAD®, Inc. (NASDAQ:ICAD), an industry-leading provider of Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) solutions, and FUJIFILM Medical Systems USA, the worldwide leader in digital mammography, announce that Fuji will offer iCAD products through their US sales channels. iCAD's SecondLook Digital and TotalLook products with the newly released version 7.2 broaden and strengthen the Fuji Computed Radiography for Mammography (FCRm) offerings by providing computer-aided cancer detection capabilities and a complete transition to digital mammography.
"The agreement with iCAD allows Fuji to offer a comprehensive solution to our customers. We plan to offer the standard-of-care iCAD products with our multiple digital mammography solutions," says Andy Vandergrift, National Marketing Manager, Women's Healthcare at Fuji. "FCRm represents the most recent digital mammography system to have passed the FDA's rigorous PMA process. Since the ACRIN-DMIST found digital mammography to be more accurate than film screen for a considerable percentage of women in the trial, more facilities have been actively seeking a digital mammography solution that best meets their clinical and workflow needs."
"iCAD is proud to be partnering with FUJIFILM Medical Systems, an industry leader in women's healthcare and the overall medical community," said Ken Ferry, President and CEO of iCAD. "Results of a recent survey on auntminnie.com indicate strong market acceptance of FCRm digital mammography. We believe there are significant cancer detection and workflow benefits to combining digital mammography with computer-aided detection; and our newest version of SecondLook Digital for Fuji is specifically optimized for FCRm. iCAD's computer-aided detection has been shown to find cancers at an earlier, more treatable stage, helping to improve patient care and reduce costs. The SecondLook product specifically has been shown to find 72 percent of the cancers missed by radiologists on the previous exam."
