This partnership will expand access to iCAD's industry-leading AI-powered breast health solutions via Arterys' FDA-cleared and CE-marked MICA platform to its installed base.

"We are extremely excited to partner with iCAD. As the first cloud-native solution in medical imaging, we will offer our joint customers a full complement of delivery solutions," said Dan Arnoff, Sr. Vice President of Commercialization.

With IT demands being so high in healthcare, the Arterys solution can be deployed in a matter of hours vs. weeks with an on-premises solution. I personally had the fantastic opportunity to run the global sales team at iCAD for years and partnerships are not just about great products but also great relationships."

iCAD's full suite of breast health solutions includes ProFound AI®, which is available for 2D and 3D mammography, ProFound AI® Risk, the world's first and only clinical decision support tool that provides an accurate two-year, breast cancer risk estimation that is truly personalized for each woman based only on a screening mammogrami, PowerLook Breast Density Assessment.
