The CAD PRO Advantage film digitizer has been specifically designed for mammography CAD.

Mammography CAD systems incorporate advanced pattern recognition and image analysis capabilities designed to aid in the detection of subtle signs of breast cancer. These systems enable radiologists to improve their ability to detect early stage cancers in an efficient manner. A key component of these CAD systems is a high performance film digitizer that meets the highest standards of image quality and reliability.

VIDAR has filed three patents related to its CAD PRO Advantage technology. Each of these patents applies to critical product attributes such as image quality, reliability, and system throughput. Additionally, VIDAR`s ADC™ (Automatic Digitizer Calibration) prompts the film digitizer to calibrate automatically before every film digitized. Therefore, user intervention is not needed for this operation.

The CAD PRO Advantage offers a modular SmartFeeder with the option of either a 50- or 100-sheet film feeder. The advanced design of VIDAR`s SmartFeeder eliminates film jams, double feeds, and film pick-up problems that occur with other digitizers. Most importantly, the CAD PRO Advantage feeder is designed for continuous case loading. This feature allows the user to add cases without interrupting the digitizing process. In addition, the CAD PRO Advantage is able to digitize a four-film case in less than 120 seconds — twice the speed of most other digitizers on the market.
