Mammex product
MAMMEX MammoCAD has been in the development pipeline
for five years. Our product has been developed in conjunction with
practicing radiologists and is fully complementary with workflow
in the mammography suite.
MAMMEX MammoCAD has been licensed for sale under
the European Medical Device Directive with the CE Mark and the MAMMEX
has been licensed for sale in Canada.
SCANIS has had encouraging success in European community.
On mammograms from randomly selected cases at several clinical sites,
MAMMEX MammoCAD detected all cancers that were missed two years
ago in double readings, but are evident today on current mammograms.
This indicates a high standard achieve results better than a double
reading which underscores early detection capability.
Last year, private insurers covered 70% of woman
40 and over. Today, that number stands at over 90%. This positive
upward trend confirms that private insurers see the importance of
CAD mammography in early detection of breast cancer.
Facilities in Europe and Canada are finding success
with the "Swedish model," which calls for screening services
to be offered at local sites through economical means such as mobile
mammography units. Images are then sent to high-volume central reading
centers, where highly qualified, experienced readers review the
images. Here in the U.S., progressive health care providers have
begun to consider this concept, coupling traditional mammography
screening in the field with MammoCAD screening devices. Finally
MammoCAD systems like MAMMEX are adding significant value to full-field
digital mammography (FFDM) systems to compensate for the display
resolution limitations of these systems to bring the benefits of
FFDM to the broadest range of the population.
