Axxent controller
January 3, 2011 — iCAD Inc., a provider of advanced image analysis and workflow solutions for the early identification of cancer, has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Xoft Inc., developer of the Axxent eBx electronic brachytherapy system.
“The acquisition of Xoft will transform iCAD from a company focused on image analysis for the early detection of cancers to a broader player in the oncology market. We believe that early detection in combination with earlier targeted intervention will provide patients and care providers with the best tools available to achieve better clinical outcomes,” said Ken Ferry, president and CEO of iCAD.
