Leading Clinical Experts Discuss Advancing Personalized Breast
Cancer Screening and Detection with Newly Launched ProFound AI Risk
Added Market Growth Opportunity Presented by Pioneering AI Breast
Cancer Risk Offering
Webinar Taking Place on Monday, December 7 @ 11am ET
NASHUA, N.H. – December 3, 2020 – iCAD,
Inc. (NASDAQ: ICAD), a global
medical technology leader providing innovative cancer detection and therapy
solutions, today announced that it will host
a key opinion leader (KOL) webinar for investors on its expanded ProFound AI®
portfolio, including its recently introduced breast cancer risk-assessment
solution that is helping transform breast cancer screening from age-based
screening to risk-adaptive precision screening, on Monday, December 7, 2020,
from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM Eastern Time.
The call will feature
presentations by KOLs, Per Hall, MD, PhD (Karolinska Institutet), Axel
Gräwingholt, MD (Radiologie am Theater), Joshua A. Nepute, MD (Indiana
University Health-Arnett), and Emily F. Conant, MD (University of Pennsylvania
Perelman School of Medicine), who will discuss the current landscape for
digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and the potential for iCAD’s recently
introduced ProFound AI Risk, the first and only commercially available clinical
decision support tool that provides an accurate two-year breast cancer risk
estimation based solely on a screening mammogram. In September 2020, compelling
research published in Radiology concluded that the ProFound AI Risk model is
effective at identifying women at high likelihood of being diagnosed with
breast cancer within two years of a negative screening mammogram and in
possible need of supplemental screening.
Drs. Gräwingholt, Hall, Nepute,
and Conant will be available to answer questions following the formal
presentations.
iCAD’s management team will also provide
an update on the comprehensive ProFound AI technology platform. ProFound AI for
DBT, or 3D mammography, is a high-performing workflow solution featuring the
latest in deep-learning artificial intelligence capabilities. Intended to be
used by radiologists reviewing DBT images, ProFound AI rapidly and accurately
analyzes each individual image or slice and identifies potentially malignant
lesions. Trained with one of the largest available 3D image datasets, ProFound
AI provides radiologists with crucial information, such as lesion Certainty of
Finding and Case Scores, which assist in clinical decision-making and
prioritizing caseloads.
