SecondLook Digital - CAD software for Mammography

SecondLook Digital from iCAD is Philips' new computer aided detection solution for early breast cancer detection. It supports physicians in identifying and marking suspicious areas. The software performs optimally with both Philips DR and CR mammography solution and seamlessly integrates in Philips PACS and Philips viewing workstation MammoDiagnost VU.

Customer Quote: “It is an apparently immutable fact of human perception that all of us, no matter how skilled we are, will periodically fail to see a significant abnormality on a mammogram or any other imaging study that is visible in retrospect. With double reading becoming increasingly infeasible, CAD provides the safeguard.” Dr. Daniel Kopans, Chairman Breast Imaging Division, Massachusetts General Hospital, Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School.
