Jefferson Radiology Announces Implementation of iCAD ProFound AI™ Platform Across Its Enterprise

Business Wire
Jefferson Radiology is implementing state-of-the-art artificial
intelligence software for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) to
improve cancer detection rates and enhance overall quality of
patient care. iCAD ProFound AITM is an advanced deep-learning,
cancer detection software solution that has been shown to detect
more cancers, with fewer unnecessary callbacks, and in less than
half the time1. Jefferson Radiology is not only the first, but
currently the only practice in the state of Connecticut to offer
ProFound AITM.
“This new technology is revolutionizing
breast cancer detection and has improved our workflow efficiency.
This means more time with our patients, cancers detected earlier
than ever before, and ultimately, better health outcomes for our
communities,” said Diana James, MD, Section Chief of Breast Imaging
at Jefferson Radiology.
Incredibly powerful, the new software is designed to run while a
radiologist is actively performing a study. As the physician reads
a case, Profound AITM uses the latest in artificial intelligence,
paired with pattern recognition technology, to assess each image
and help identify potential areas of concern. It does this quickly
using its algorithm that is trained with one of the largest 3D
datasets available, while providing radiologists with potentially
life-saving information, including Certainty of Finding lesion and
Case Scores.
“Combined with our highly trained,
sub-specialized breast imaging team and our new suite of GeniusTM
3D mammography units - the most advanced 3D mammogram available on
the market, Profound AITM is the next step towards offering our
patients, referring physicians and radiologists the best in breast
imaging care,” said Luce Buhl, Sr. Director of Operations at
Jefferson Radiology.
The implementation was completed on June 2nd 2020, and patients
at each of the practice’s nine locations will benefit from this new
technology.
