ABUS Examination
Volumetric breast ultrasound images are acquired.
Built for radiologists. Proven in practice.
QVCAD helps radiologists identify suspicious findings that might otherwise be overlooked - addressing a key concern in medical legal liability: missed cancers.
*Based on feedback from six experienced QVCAD users, who had interpreted an average of more than 20,000 ABUS cases each.
QVCAD in the reading workflow
QVCAD identifies lesions through CAD marks (green circles) and dark holes in the navigator image. CAD marks, whether accompanied by dark holes or not, indicate highly suspicious lesions, while dark holes without CAD marks suggest less suspicious or benign lesions.

Clinical evidence / FROC
How QVCAD balances cancer detection and false-positive marks.
| Sensitivity | Specificity | FP/Volume | |
|---|---|---|---|
| CAD mark | 93% | 66% | 0.07 |
| Dark hole | 99% | 19% | 0.3 |
* Sensitivity and specificity are calculated on a per-patient basis. FP/Volume represents the average number of false-positive marks per ABUS view, measured using normal cases.
How QVCAD works
QVCAD analyzes Automated Breast Ultrasound images and presents marked findings for concurrent radiologist review.
Volumetric breast ultrasound images are acquired.
QVCAD evaluates the image data for suspicious findings.
AI marks are available during interpretation.
The radiologist applies expertise with added decision support.
