Patients and health professional share their experience
with the ImageChecker®
"Nearly
97% of the women who are diagnosed with breast cancer at an early stage
have a high survival rate. That knowledge gave me the "bravery"
to deal with this experience and possibly save my life."
- Elizabeth Griggs
"Using the ImageChecker
in conjunction with our own years of experience has boosted our diagnostic
confidence significantly when reviewing mammograms."
"We have actually had cases where
the cancer was so small or obscured by breast tissue, we didn't initially
see it, but the ImageChecker was able to help us catch it."
- Marjorie Homlar, MD, medical director
Diagnostic Radiology Ultrasound and Breast Center.
"My
breast cancer was discovered when I went in for a regular mammogram. The
abnormality was so small that the doctor said that had it not been for
the ImageChecker, it might have been missed.
The cancer was in the early stages
so I am thankful that it was successfully removed with lumpectomy. Due
to early detection, neither radiation nor chemotherapy was required. Now,
I am leading a normal, healthy life."
- Susan Hicks was an invited guest on
ABC's
Good Morning America, hosted by anchorwoman Diane Sawyer
and Medical Correspondent Dr. Nancy Snyderman.
"Research has
shown that the accuracy of mamography improves by at least 15% when read
twice. However, because not every institution has the resources to double
read every study, we designed a study to evaluate the ability of CAD to
serve as the second read."
"We continue to be encouraged by the
ability of CAD to improve the early detection of breast cancer."
- Wende Logan-Young, M.D.
