IQQA®-Chest is the only FDA cleared system to offer "on-demand", real-time interactive diagnostic analysis of digital chest X-rays using a comprehensive set of tools to support radiologists in their identification, confirmation and quantification of lung nodules. Internationally published clinical studies have demonstrated that the use of IQQA®-Chest helps to improve radiologists' detection of small nodules. In identifying and confirming nodules, physicians use lesion-specific image enhancement viewing (LSEV) modes to dynamically detail image structures and highlight suspicious areas. IQQA®-Chest Enterprise aims to redefine how advanced clinical applications can be accessed by radiologists. Through a unique enabling solution developed by EDDA, the full functionality of the IQQA-Chest application may now be accessed instantly by radiologists at their primary PACS reading stations, providing on-demand support in their identification, confirmation and quantification of lung nodules.

RSNA 2006 will also provide the occasion for EDDA to showcase their advanced imaging application, IQQA®-Liver. Using data from a serial multiphase CT liver study, IQQA®-Liver provides radiologists with a tool to review all acquired phases simultaneously with automatic anatomic phase registration. It also provides segmentation and measurement tools for visualizing and analyzing liver lesions and vascular structures to support liver disease diagnosis and preoperative assessment and planning. IQQA-Liver is approved by the U.S. FDA and the Chinese State Food and Drug Administration. It has been in clinical use in several luminary Chinese hospitals for liver cancer detection, diagnosis and treatment planning purposes, including Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital in Shanghai, and Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Beijing.

IQQA®-Chest Workstation is specifically designed to aid physicians in the identification, confirmation, quantification, and reporting of pulmonary nodules from digital chest radiographs. Embedding intelligent assistance tools and real-time interaction, the system seamlessly integrates advanced diagnostic analysis technology into physicians' softcopy reading process for improved workflow and clinical decision making. In non-PACS environments, the IQQA®-Chest Workstation can additionally function as a dedicated softcopy reading station for digital chest reading. Internationally published clinical studies have shown that the use of IQQA®-Chest helps to reduce inter-observer variation and to improve the detection rate of nodules. In non-PACS environments, the IQQA®-Chest Workstation can additionally function as a dedicated softcopy reading station for digital chest reading.
