iCAD and the Defense Supply Center announced last week that they will supply more than 400 federal healthcare facilities with CAD mammography systems. VA centers and Department of Defense hospitals will be among the facilities receiving the updated technology.
The need for new technology comes with the increase in the number of women serving in the armed forces. In 2009 the Veteran’s Administration reported that there were 1.8 million female veterans. The CAD technology that will be added to the medical facilities is part of the Women’s Comprehensive Healthcare Implementation Plan. The plan is designed to provide complete primary health care for all female veterans.
