The AI technology will be used within iCad’s Profound Breast Health Suite for 2D Mammography. The tool analyzes mammography images and alerts clinicians of any potential abnormalities, according to an Aug. 14 iCad news release.

The partnership builds off a November 2022 development and commercialization agreement between iCad and Google Health.

“Combining Google’s AI technology with our leading-edge ProFound Breast Health Suite of AI solutions will enhance our technology and expand access to the technology to millions of women and providers worldwide,” iCad CEO and President Dana Brown said in the release. “Furthermore, Google has already been exploring the use of its technology as an independent reader, with extremely promising results.”

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
