iCAD Launches iReveal Breast Density Analysis Software

July 8, 2015

Nashau, N.H.-based iCAD has introduced its iReveal breast density module, a new addition to the company’s PowerLook mammography platform.

Women with dense breasts can experience reduced sensitivity to digital mammography since their larger tissue may mask the presence of cancer. The iReveal software provides breast density assessment so these patients can be identified, the company said Tuesday.

This is important given that breast density has been linked with an increased risk of developing breast cancer, the devicemaker adds, citing an American Cancer Society report.

The company plans to combine the technology with its breast tomosynthesis system.  — Jason Scott
