KODAK Digital Mammography CAD System
This highly advanced screening tool is designed to assist in early detection of breast cancer, with the goal of finding more cancers sooner. Developed using third-generation algorithms based on FDA-approved analog algorithms, the KODAK Digital Mammography CAD System is proven to deliver results across a wide range of clinical environments.
This system is currently not available in the U.S.
KODAK CAD is clinically proven as the best industry performer, setting industry standards in pioneering technology.
CAD is proven to increase cancer detection rate
- Retrospective studies of missed cancers have repeatedly shown that CAD could have helped in detection
- Prospective reader studies consistently show that using CAD increases the cancer detection rate by up to 20%
Enhanced double reading performance
- Independent studies have concluded that using single reading and CAD produces similar or better results than double-reading*
- Norwegian studies have highlighted the potential for CAD to increase digital mammography performance if used in addition to double-reading**
