VIDAR Systems Corp. has unveiled its new Clinical Express 3.0 software for mammography. Used with the VIDAR CAD PRO Advantage Film Digitizer, Clinical Express 3.0 allows prior film-based studies to be digitized and then reviewed alongside new studies on digital mammography workstations.
Preliminary results of a study conducted by Johns Hopkins University support the use of digitizing prior mammography studies for reference and review. According to the study, there were few differences in the ability of radiologists to read mammography films digitized by the CAD PRO Advantage compared with hard-copy originals.
