Confirma Signs Agreement with InSight Health Corp.

KIRKLAND, Wash. -- Confirma, Inc., the market leader in computer-aided-detection (CAD) for MRI, today announced a three-year agreement to provide CADstream(TM) systems, the standard in CAD for MRI, to selected locations within InSight Health Corp.'s integrated network of 239 fixed-site and mobile facilities. InSight provides services in more than 35 states, including California, Arizona, New England, the Carolinas, Florida and the Mid-Atlantic states. The agreement makes CADstream the preferred CAD for breast MRI product to all of InSight Health's facilities.

"Our goal is to provide the best possible diagnostic imaging services to our patients and physicians," said Gregg C. Daversa, vice president, technical services of InSight Health Corp. "Our patients and physicians expect a proven MRI-CAD system to improve MRI breast imaging outcomes, and we believe that our arrangement with Confirma will help InSight, and the radiologists within our network, provide more advanced breast imaging services benefiting both physicians and patients."

Daversa added, "We conducted an extensive clinical evaluation with breast CAD technology and CADstream was our clear choice as the standard in CAD for breast MRI for our patients. CADstream offers the most comprehensive automated analysis and reporting features, while being in accordance with the ACR BI-RADS(R) Atlas. Confirma also impressed us with its expanding installed customer base, growing endorsements from other third party companies (including GE Healthcare, Hologic, Vital Images and iCAD), continued strong dedication to market expansion and product development and world-class customer support and education programs."

"This agreement is a significant milestone for Confirma and we are pleased that InSight Health Corp. has chosen CADstream as the preferred breast MRI-CAD system," said Wayne Wager, president and CEO, Confirma. "We look forward to a strong partnership between Confirma and InSight Health Corp."

CADstream enhances the efficiency and workflow of MRI studies by automating data analysis, improving image management and correcting for patient movement, which assists radiologists in the interpretation, standardization and reporting of these data-intensive studies. CADstream's core automated features include image registration, multiplanar reformatting, subtractions, angiogenesis maps, curves, maximum intensity projections (MIPs), volume summaries and SureLoc(TM) for real-time interventional guidance. CADstream also incorporates advanced features, including a streamlined portfolio for more comprehensive treatment planning -- incorporating the BI-RADS(R) Atlas for lesion classification -- and a multimodality ready configuration, offering users the ability to display and compare mammography, ultrasound and breast MRI studies.

The latest version of CADstream includes an expanded version of SureLoc, an efficient way to calculate coordinates for interventional guidance. SureLoc now reports needle position for both grid and pillar methods in real time (insertion location, depth and needle angle) and displays images and needle position in the patient's orientation. This feature is compatible with interventional breast coils and with vacuum-assisted biopsy systems, and is available on any networked PC for access at any location.
