VuComp Inc. debuted its automated breast density measurement technology, M-Vu Breast Density, at NCoBC, March 15-19 in Las Vegas. Clinical studies have shown that dense breasts can make breast cancer detection in a mammogram more difficult by potentially masking malignant masses. Because of this, radiologists classify breast density into four categories established by the American College of Radiology’s Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) standard.
The need to assess breast density as part of routine mammography is well documented and is required by legislation in many states. Vucomp’s U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared M-Vu Breast Density automatically assesses breast density, providing consistent and accurate measurements calibrated to a panel of 13 expert radiologists.
VuComp received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) premarket approval (PMA) of the M-Vu CAD Version 3 system for digital mammography. This generation of CAD technology intends to lower false positive rates. The company upgraded all M-Vu users’ systems with M-Vu CAD Version 3 at no charge.
VuComp Inc. introduced M-Vu Breast Density, a tool for radiologists that provides automated assessment of breast density from a digital mammogram.
