20/20 HealthCare announces an agreement with Rcadia for the distribution of the Rcadia COR-Analyzer computer-aided detection (CAD) software for automatic segmentation and classification of coronary CT angiogram procedures.
20/20 HealthCare will use its wholly owned subsidiaries, Viztek and 20/20 HealthCare Global, as channels for achieving broad market and geographical distribution of the Rcadia solution. The COR Analyzer system detects stenotic lesions in the major coronary arteries and automatically identifies patients without coronary artery disease with a very high negative predictive value. It uses proprietary image processing algorithms to produce a report that enables fast and accurate evaluation of patients with suspected coronary artery disease.
The automatic system requires no human intervention and supports more precise diagnosis, treatment and enhanced workflow. The COR Analyzer accepts standard DICOM images from any 64-slice CT scanners.
The Rcadia COR Analyzer automatically processes Coronary CTA data sets and presents the physician with:
• Axial views with color overlays of the coronary arteries and coronary lesions.
• 3D views of the coronary tree with locations of suspected lesions and color overlays of the four main coronary arteries – RCA, LAD, LM and LCX.
• Pathologies reports.
