Executive Summary
Company plans to file a 510(k) for the VeraLook computer-aided detection system for computed tomography (CT) colonography late this month or in April. iCAD previewed the investigational system at the European Society of Radiology annual meeting in Vienna March 6-10. The device can automatically identify polyps and streamline the image reading process, firm says.
