Medicsight to Present New Data at Major Radiology Conference
NEW YORK, Dec. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Medicsight PLC, a subsidiary of
MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (Amex: MGT), and an industry leader in the
development of Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) and image analysis software,
today announced that it will present a study abstract at the annual meeting of
the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) in Chicago on November 30 to
December 5, 2008, the major radiology event of the year.
The presentation demonstrates that CAD increased the sensitivity for the
detection of colorectal cancers in multi-row detector CT (MDCT) colonography
(CTC) and that when both expert and non-expert CTC readers used CAD it
increased their sensitivity in detecting colorectal cancers. Medicsight will
present data from this study and from additional abstracts that demonstrate
the clinical relevance of CAD in early detection of colorectal cancer.
Medicsight will be showcasing its CAD products at both its partners' and its
own exhibition booths. Medicsight's booth number at RSNA is no. 4076 -- Hall
A, South Building.
