CHICAGO, Nov. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Volpara Solutions, Inc., will showcase its Cancer Screening Platform, powered by artificial intelligence (AI), at the 105th Annual Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) meeting, December 1–6, 2019 (South Hall #4770). Volpara Solutions has joined forces with MRS Systems and ScreenPoint Medical to provide radiologists with the clinical decision-support tools they need to personalize breast screening for early cancer detection.

The newly redesigned Volpara®Scorecard+™ provides radiologists with easy access to three key patient risk insights: breast density assessment, an indication of suspicious findings in the mammogram, and lifetime risk of developing breast cancer. With accurate, actionable information about each patient available right from their workstation, radiologists can make an informed and timely decision about the patient's need for supplemental imaging and/or genetic testing as part of a personalized breast care plan. Through VolparaScorecard+, radiologists will have access to these patient risk insights:

Breast density. Volpara®Density™ software relies on AI to provide radiologists with automated, objective volumetric breast density assessments and a breast density category shown to correlate to BI-RADS® 4th and 5th editions.

Short-term risk. Transpara™ software by ScreenPoint Medical helps increase radiologists' confidence in their reading in addition to streamlining their workflow. Transpara uses AI to automatically assign each screening mammogram a score from 1 to 10. Exams with a high score are more likely to contain breast cancer. Transpara also provides Region Analysis and Perception Aid to help identify specific areas of concern in the mammogram. Studies show that using Transpara as a decision-support tool helps to increase both the sensitivity and specificity of mammography.1
Lifetime risk. Incorporating the Tyrer-Cuzick breast cancer risk evaluation model (TC8) directly into the screening workflow allows radiologists to further personalize screening. Volpara®Risk™ software captures patient information through a simple, easy-to-use electronic interface. VolparaRisk uses that information, along with the VolparaDensity score, to calculate a woman's lifetime risk of developing breast cancer using the TC8 model.
"The VolparaScorecard+ is a personalized, AI-powered clinical decision platform designed to help radiologists design a personalized breast care plan for patients without disrupting their workflow," said Monica Saini MD, MS, Chief Medical Officer, Volpara Solutions. "With the addition of Aspen® Breast, this information can be easily communicated to referring physicians, patients, and insurance providers through automatically generated letters and reports."
