Agfa to Integrate Medicsight's CAR Software

By MedImaging staff writers
Posted on 06 Dec 2004
Afga (Mortsel, Belgium) has signed a letter of intent with Medicsight (London, UK), a developer of medical imaging analysis software, to integrate and distribute its computer-assisted reading (CAR) software.

Consequently, Medicsight's CAR, LungCAR, and Heart Screen software will be integrated into Agfa's systems for radiology and clinical specialties on the global market, and Agfa will be granted limited exclusivity to distribute these systems. More...
Both the research departments of Agfa and Medicsight will work closely together to develop entirely integrated systems, helping radiologists to detect and accurately measure colon polyps, coronary artery calcifications, and lung lesions.

"Integrating the Medicsight portfolio in our market-leading solutions fits into our strategy of offering best-of-breed solutions to the radiologist and clinician through intelligent strategic alliances. It's a successful and award-winning strategy that has been fully appreciated by the market, and has strengthened Agfa's capability to penetrate new markets and to remain on top of technological innovations,” said Etienne Vanderstokker, head of Agfa's HE Imaging Technologies.
