Parascript Announces AccuDetect 2.0 Computer Aided Detection Algorithms for Greater Accuracy in Assessing Mammograms

BOULDER, Colo., Nov. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Parascript, LLC, the image analysis and pattern recognition technology provider, today announced the release of AccuDetect 2.0, the next generation of its computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithms for mammography. Parascript AccuDetect 2.0 is even more robust with improved performance and increased potential for lowering false-positive rates in detecting suspicious lesions on mammograms. Available for OEM customers interested in reducing false-positive rates of existing CAD systems, AccuDetect is intended to assist radiologists in the early detection of breast cancer during film-based or digital mammography exams.

CAD systems are typically relied upon to identify and highlight hard-to-find features and anomalies on medical images that may be indicative of cancer and bring them to the attention of radiologists. AccuDetect is an enabling technology that easily integrates with existing analog and digital CAD systems to improve the accuracy of data interpretation. Its primary objective is to enable existing CAD systems to reduce false-positive readings through the utilization of voting methodology in medical imaging.
