GE Healthcare, Medipattern to Collaborate on Ultrasound Imaging

GE Healthcare and Medipattern announced a five-year agreement for ultrasound-based computer-aided detection (CAD) of breast cancer.

Under the agreement, GE Healthcare will work with Medipattern to develop CAD for existing GE ultrasound platforms, as well as future ultrasound imaging solutions, GE said. Medipattern will create an advanced version of its breast ultrasound CAD exclusively for GE Healthcare for use with its ultrasound solutions.

In addition, GE will be able to resell the Medipattern’s current B-CAD product line, it said.
