July 26, 2023 – iCAD, Inc., a global medical technology provider of innovative cancer detection and therapy solutions, announced it has signed a new strategic multi- year commercial agreement with Radiology Partners, the nation’s largest radiology practice through its owned and affiliated practices.
Under the agreement, which was executed on June 27 and detailed in a July 19 statement from the Nashua, NH-based iCAD, Radiology Partners selected iCAD as its provider of breast AI technologies deployed through the Radiology Partners Cloud.
