March 26, 2008 - The Medipattern Corp. installed its B-CAD 2.2 at General Hospital in Salzburg, Austria, as part of the province-wide breast ultrasound-screening program for higher risk patients initiated in January 2008, as a pilot program to prepare for the countrywide adoption.
B-CAD receives ultrasound images collected on GE Medical Systems Kretz Ultrasound, Voluson E 8 via a direct link to GE Healthcare's Centricity PACS, integrating both to the device and the PACS. The system also outlines the edge of the lesion and characterizes it using internationally recognized standards to aid in the diagnostic interpretation assessing the lesion as either probably benign or probably malignant.
