April 1, 2013 — Invivo and iCAD Inc. announced the companies have entered into a global research, development and commercial agreement.
Under the agreement, iCAD will develop advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis software products, which Invivo will incorporate into its suite of MRI product solutions for global commercial sale.
