Eastman Kodak Company announced this week that Consorta, Inc. has awarded the company a three-year contract for mammography computer-aided detection (CAD) systems.

Consorta will make the system available to its membership, which is comprised of faith-based and non-profit health systems across the country. Through the three-year agreement, Kodak will make available its KODAK Mammography CAD System to more than 500 acute and 300 extended care facilities nationwide.

The CAD system uses sophisticated algorithms to help identify suspicious areas on patients' digitized mammograms and is small enough to easily fit in most healthcare facilities.
Kodak's also has a contract with Consorta for CR and DR systems.
