Confirma公司推出乳房核磁共振检查计算机辅助检测系统

一种新型计算机辅助检测系统被称作CADstream，被研制开发用来在乳房核磁共振检查时候进行计算机辅助检测。

这种计算机辅助检测系统整合了病变分类的ACR铋-拉德图册以及多峰形的备用配置，在解释乳房核磁共振检查结果的时候，为操作者提供了进入、观察以及参考乳房X线照相以及超声波检查的能力。该系统由Confirma公司(Kirkland, WA, USA)研制成功。

美国西雅图第一希尔诊断影像的Justin P. Smith医生说：“CADstream系统已经在第一希尔诊断影像的乳房核磁共振检查项目中产生了实实在在的进步。我们已经在影响我们项目的不同单元看到了进步，包括工作流程、标准化、通讯以及研究容量。我相信CADstream的新特征将进一步改进我们的妇女影像项目。我们现在有更好、更加有益的解释以及交流疾病程度的工具。”

CAD系统通过自动化数据分析、改进影像处理、纠正患者运动方式，提升了乳房核磁共振检查的工作效率和工作流程，这就有助于放射科医生对这些数据密集检查进行解释、标准化以及报告。CADstream核心自动化特征包括自适应、高序列影像记录（二维和三维）、多平面重定格式、衰减、血管发生图谱、互动式实时对比曲线、最大亮度投影以及容量摘要。

Breast MRI CAD System
 
A new CAD system, called CADstream, was developed for computer-aided detection (CAD) in breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) applications.

The CAD system incorporates the ACR Bi-Rads Atlas for lesion classification and a multimodality-ready configuration, providing users with the ability to access, view, and reference patients’ mammography and ultrasound studies while interpreting breast MRI.
The system was developed by Confirma, Inc. (Kirkland, WA, USA).

“CADstream has led to a profound improvement of our breast MRI program at First Hill Diagnostic Imaging,” said Justin P. Smith, M.D., First Hill Diagnostic Imaging, Seattle, WA, USA. “We have seen improvement in a variety of elements that affect our program, including workflow, standardization, communication, and study volumes. The new features in CADstream, I believe, will further improve our women’s imaging program. We now have even better, more informative tools to interpret and communicate the extent of disease.”

The CAD system enhances the efficiency and workflow of breast MRI studies by automating data analysis, improving image management, and correcting for patient movement, which assists radiologists in the interpretation, standardization, and reporting of these data-intensive studies. CADstream’s core automated features include adaptive, high-order image registration (two- and three-dimensional), multiplanar reformatting, subtractions, angiogenesis maps, interactive real-time contrast curves, maximum intensity projections (MIPs), and volume summaries.
