November 13, 2015 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Parascript AccuDetect 7.0 for mammography systems manufactured by General Electric, Philips, Hologic, Fujifilm, Carestream, IMS and Planmed.

At this year’s annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), MedCurrent will introduce a new tool that enables organizations to prospectively understand the impact and return on investment (ROI) of implementing clinical decision support (CDS).

The National Cancer Institute awarded Houston Methodist investigator Randa El-Zein, M.B., Ch.B., Ph.D., a $2.8 million, five-year U01 grant to combine mammography features with blood-based biomarkers to more precisely predict a woman’s risk for breast cancer-specific subtypes.
