An increasing number of radiologists use computer-aided detection as a "second pair of eyes" when reading a mammogram. iCAD has the potential to detect findings that might otherwise be overlooked during the review process, thus increasing cancer detection. CAD technology is especially effective in identifying calcifications, some of which can be cancerous. Clinical trials demonstrated that use of the SecondLook systems could result in earlier detection of up to 25% of the cancers an average of 15 months earlier for those patients currently detected with screening mammography.
