- SmartMammo™’s AI algorithm now FDA cleared with GE HealthCare’s Senographe Pristina™, expanding access to enhanced cancer detection.
- The clearance enables RadNet’s DeepHealth and GE HealthCare collaboration to bring together the SmartMammo and Senographe Pristina solutions and transform breast cancer diagnosis.
SOMERVILLE, Mass., Nov. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a release issued under the same headline on Friday, November 29th by RadNet, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDNT), please note that in the third sentence of the first paragraph, the year that SmartMammo Dx was first cleared should be 2021, not 2012. The corrected release follows:
DeepHealth, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of RadNet, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDNT) and a global leader in AI-powered health informatics, has received expanded FDA 510(k) clearance for its innovative mammography software. SmartMammo Dx, the AI algorithm within SmartMammo1, is now FDA-cleared to be compatible with GE HealthCare’s Senographe Pristina™ mammography systems. SmartMammo Dx was first cleared in May 2021 in conjunction with HOLOGIC mammography systems, where its performance has also been tested and cleared in patients with unilateral breasts and with breast implants. This newly expanded clearance advances DeepHealth’s mission to enhance and expand breast cancer screening programs by broadening system compatibility.
“This FDA clearance allows us to expand access to high-quality breast cancer screening to more patients,” said Kees Wesdorp, President and CEO of RadNet’s Digital Health segment. “By bringing SmartMammo’s improved cancer detection to GE HealthCare’s mammography systems, more providers can harness the power of AI to help redefine radiology workflows and address key challenges across the imaging value chain, to improve speed, clinical accuracy, operational efficiency, and elevate patient care.”
SmartMammo Dx is a key component of DeepHealth’s comprehensive SmartMammo1 solution, delivering advanced AI-driven tools that empower radiologists to interpret digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) mammograms with greater precision. The software identifies suspicious soft tissue lesions and calcifications and assigns finding-specific and case-specific suspicion levels with increased diagnostic accuracy.
DeepHealth’s FDA-cleared breast cancer diagnostic technologies have already supported millions of exams over the last two years with HOLOGIC mammography systems through the Enhanced Breast Cancer Detection (EBCD) program at RadNet. The expanded FDA clearance with GE HealthCare’s Senographe Pristina should further accelerate the adoption of AI-powered breast cancer screening at RadNet and with other providers.
The FDA clearance underscores DeepHealth and GE HealthCare’s shared commitment to advancing patient-centric, interoperable, and scalable imaging solutions. The two companies aim to set new standards in AI-powered breast imaging to help radiologists deliver better care faster.
