However, that from lung cancer is remarkably increasing,” said Kunimasa Itoh, general manager, marketing department, medical systems division of Shimadzu.
"According to the statistics such as those from WHO, ratio of death from cancer in the recent years tends to be decreasing. Both companies are working together to prepare another innovative new chest CAD application, which will be introduced to worldwide markets in the upcoming years. Shimadzu will distribute this chest X-ray CAD application with its DR products in worldwide markets. The first prospective study on chest X-ray CAD published in peer-reviewed journals showed positive results that suggest the interpretation of chest radiographs for lung nodules can be improved using IQQA-Chest. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Union (EU), CE, and China SFDA, and is sold and used in the United State, Europe, China, and other countries. Its IQQA-Chest CAD product is already approved by U.S. Chest X-ray is the most typically performed radiographic exam accounting for nearly 50% of all imaging tests, and over 70 million chest X-rays are performed yearly in the United States.Įdda is a pioneer in the area of chest CAD application. This partnership contains both distribution of Edda's chest X-ray CAD applications with Shimadzu's digital radiography (DR) system through Shimadzu's worldwide sales channel and the development of fully new applications integrating Shimadzu's state-of-the-art application for digital radiography together with Edda's advanced technology in the field of chest CAD.Ĭhest X-ray CAD is an advanced clinical application aiming the improvement of physician's detection accuracy of lung nodules by identifying possible nodules efficiently using computer image-analysis technology, which will also help to overcome the challenge of workload of physicians in the diagnosis process.
(Princeton, NJ, USA) reported that they have entered into a business partnership on X-ray chest computer-aided detection (CAD) systems based on the radiography system of Shimadzu featuring its direct conversion flat panel detector (FPD) and Edda's CAD applications.
