Hudson Valley Hospital Center recently purchased a Second Look system from iCAD. Second Look is a computer-aided detection (CAD) system designed to assist radiologists in the early detection of breast cancer during a mammography exam.

iCAD Takes a Second Look During Mammography Exam

"As a leading healthcare institution, Hudson Valley Hospital Center is committed to investing in the most advanced medical equipment," states Dr. Maurice Poplausky, director of diagnostic imaging at the hospital. "iCAD's cutting-edge detection technology enables us to better serve our patients by identifying breast cancer earlier."

Simply stated, the iCAD system looks like a FAX machine and acts like a spell checker for the radiologist. After analysis, areas of concern are marked on the digitized film and serve to alert the interpreting radiologist to areas of interest. Following the initial interpretation by the radiologist, the CAD analysis is reviewed, thus providing the "second look."
