Perry J. Pickhardt, Professor of Radiology, University of Wisconsin

"With the impressive stand-alone sensitivity and the low false-positive rate, it is clear that the ColonCAD™ 4.0 software from Medicsight is ready to be applied in, and will add tremendous value to routine clinical practice including population-based screening programmes."

Dr Stuart Taylor, Reader, University College Hospital, London

"We know that screening for colorectal cancer saves lives. We also now know from trial evidence that CT Colonography is an accurate test to be used in colorectal cancer screening, therefore as the demand for screening increases around the world CT Colonography will be increasingly used as part of that screening process, so any tool such as CAD which will help the radiologist maximise his potential is going to have an increasingly important role."

Steve Halligan, Professor of Gastrointestinal Radiology, University College Hospital, London

"I have been using Medicsight ColonCAD for day-to-day clinical reporting of CT colonography cases for some time, and find it invaluable as a diagnostic tool. I routinely adopt a second-read paradigm for both symptomatic and screening patients, and ColonCAD works extremely well when used this way. On average, I find it does not interfere with normal workflow because the false-positive rate is low in well-prepared cases, while the pay-back in terms of detected polyps is considerable. I have read thousands of CT colonography exams in both clinical and research contexts, yet still find that CAD frequently helps me identify a lesion I would otherwise have missed."
