Volpara Solutions Inc. will showcase its new Volpara Enterprise DDP software at the Association for Medical Imaging Management (AHRA)'s 45th Annual Meeting and Exposition, July 9-12, in Anaheim, Calif. The VolparaEnterprise Clinical Applications software package offers access to VolparaDensity, VolparaDose and VolparaPressure, in a software-as-a-service (SaaS) subscription model for the first time. Volpara Solutions will showcase its entire suite of quantitative breast imaging tools, which allow for personalized measurements of volumetric breast density, patient dose, breast compression and other factors designed to help maintain accuracy and consistent quality in breast screening.
Parascript LLC announced a new partnership with Volpara Solutions, creator of Volpara Density automated breast density assessment software. Independent research has associated an increased risk of cancer for patients with high breast density, which can also make cancer harder to detect on conventional mammograms. Together, Parascript AccuDetect CAD (computer-aided detection) and VolparaDensity provide complementary early cancer detection solutions.
Volpara Solutions announced the European launch of Volpara Enterprise 2.0 software, which helps breast imaging facilities deliver high-quality, personalized breast screening. The software was launched at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) meeting, March 1-5, 2017, in Vienna, Austria.
In the first large-scale study of its kind, Dutch researchers demonstrated a strong linear relationship between decreased screening performance and volumetric breast density. Involving more than 110,000 mammograms from the Dutch Breast Screening Program (Foundation of Population Screening Mid-West), the study showed that increasing volumetric breast density, automatically measured by Volpara Density software, impacts mammography performance measures, such as sensitivity and the rates of recall, false positives and interval cancers.
Volpara Solutions announced the launch of VolparaEnterprise 2.0 software, which helps breast imaging providers deliver high-quality, personalized breast screening, at the 102nd Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting, Nov. 27-Dec. 2, 2016.
Volpara Solutions announced the launch of a support program to help accredited breast imaging centers across the United States prepare for compliance to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Enhancing Quality Using the Inspection Program (EQUIP) initiative. The Volpara "EQUIP-ready" program — which includes draft processes, procedures and forms designed to help users accelerate their compliance efforts — is included with the company's Volpara Enterprise cloud-based quality assurance solution.
Researchers from the Netherlands recently completed a study that explored the variation between radiologists when judging breast density visually on serially-acquired mammograms, and whether an automated density assessment would provide better consistency. Results of the study, “Consistency of breast density categories in serial screening mammograms: A comparison between automated and human assessment,” recently published in the Breast Journal, suggest that an automated computer measurement, VolparaDensity, provides better consistency than density readings performed visually by radiologists.
For all the benefits of medical diagnostic imaging, radiation exposure to both the patient and the operator remains a major safety concern. Various studies have illustrated the harmful effects of excess radiation dose, but much is still uncertain as to its precise impact.
Volpara Solutions last week announced the commercial launch of VolparaEnterprise software, which helps breast imaging providers deliver high-quality, personalized breast screening.
Based on its recent analysis of the breast density assessment solutions market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Volpara Solutions with the 2016 Global Frost & Sullivan Award for Competitive Strategy Innovation and Leadership.
