icad Inc. announced approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use of the company's next generation mammography computer-aided detection (CAD) platform, PowerLook Advanced Mammography Platform (AMP)(TM), with Digital CAD for Philips' MicroDose Full-Field Digital Mammography System. PowerLook AMP provides radiologists with the ability to customize their CAD solution to meet the needs of their individual work environment. The technology expands on iCAD's SecondLook Digital algorithm and is the CAD platform upon which all future breast imaging CAD offerings from iCAD will be built.

PowerLook AMP's CAD metrics offer tissue and lesion characteristics to support the breast imager's workflow. iCAD's PowerLook AMP's flexible DICOM connectivity solution supports direct integration with Philips' IntelliSpace Breast workstation as well as enabling universal compatibility with various PACS and Review Workstations.
