X-Ray Film Digitizer for Mammography Priors, Digitized Film CAD
The CAD PRO Advantage film digitizer was specifically designed for mammography CAD. CAD systems incorporate advanced pattern recognition and image analysis, requiring a film digitizer that meets the highest standards of image quality and reliability. These advanced systems enable radiologists to improve their ability to detect early stage cancers in an efficient manner.
By meeting these rigorous requirements, CAD PRO Advantage is an ideal fit for mammography facilities transitioning to digital technology. It provides the ability to quickly digitize film-based prior studies and, when coupled with the appropriate software, uses the DICOM MG standard to identify the specific mammography view contained on each film. Prior studies are correctly displayed on the mammography reporting workstation alongside the newly acquired digital mammography study.
In order to read a new mammography study, Radiologists and mammographers may require up to two years of prior studies. The ongoing transition to digital technology in mammography has forced radiologists to view both film-based priors and new digital images for the same returning patient read, until now. See VIDAR's White Paper entitled, "Realizing the Benefits of Full-Field Digital Mammography — The Role of the Film Digitizer."
The CAD PRO Advantage offers a modular 50-sheet film feeder. The advanced design of VIDAR's SmartFeeder eliminates film jams, double feeds, and film pick-up problems that occur with other digitizers. Most importantly, the CAD PRO Advantage feeder is designed for continuous case loading. This feature allows the user to add cases without interrupting the digitizing process. In addition, the CAD PRO Advantage is able to digitize a four-film case in less than 120 seconds - twice the speed of most other digitizers on the market.
