“Our goal at Solis Mammography is to advance the health of women through early detection. Heart disease is often underdiagnosed in women and appropriate interventions are not initiated when they can be most effective. Given that approximately 40 million women are screened each year with mammography in the U.S. alone,v the evaluation of BAC offers a simple, but accurate method to identify women at high risk of CVD,” said Chirag Parghi, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Solis Mammography. “We look forward to working closely with iCAD to develop a solution that can unlock additional applications of the AI model in traditional mammography to learn about risk factors that were previously ignored. As a leader in breast imaging, it is our obligation to offer every possible bit of information from the mammogram to our patients to help them advance their health. We are pleased to partner with iCAD to help use today’s mammogram to find tomorrow’s heart disease.”

This partnership expands the companies’ relationship, as Solis Mammography adopted iCAD’s Breast AI Suite across its entire network in 2020. With more than 100 locations in the U.S. and over one million women served each year, Solis Mammography will provide clinical support for the BAC risk model. The company will also assist in developing appropriate pathways for patients in order to maximize the clinical value of the technology and accelerate adoption.


“When it comes to addressing this critical need, we know that the best path forward is partnering with leading clinical providers, as they understand the clinical pathways to apply it in daily practice and the steps necessary to drive adoption in the market,” Stevens added. “iCAD and Solis Mammography have worked closely together over the last two years in the fight against breast cancer through the application of our Breast AI Suite, and we look forward to working with their exceptional team to expand on our shared mission and take on one of the greatest threats to women’s health.”
