Backed by a study that shows high sensitivity and specificity in patients, a new computer-aided detection (CAD) scheme for virtual colonoscopy (also known as CT colonography or CTC) was approved last week by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The 510(k) clearance granted to VeraLook from iCAD of Nashua, NH, is a rare one for the FDA, which promised a year ago to speed up its near-moribund approval process for computer-aided detection products.
