PowerLook Tomo Detection V2 Software

iCAD Inc.

PowerLook® Tomo Detection V2 Software is a computer-assisted detection and diagnosis (CAD) software device intended to be used concurrently by interpreting physicians while reading digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) exams from compatible DBT systems. The system detects soft tissue densities (masses, architectural distortions and asymmetries) and calcifications in the 3D DBT slices. The detections and Certainty of Finding and Case Scores assist interpreting physicians in identifying soft tissue densities and calcifications that may be confirmed or dismissed by the interpreting physician .

Evidence status: each field states its source quality, applicability, and review date. Research pending, information not established, and vendor documentation pending remain distinct outcomes.

Output and human action
The AI model outputs: (1) Lesion detection marks as overlays on DBT tomosynthesis slices identifying soft tissue densities (masses, architectural distortions, asymmetries) and calcifications; (2) Certainty of Finding Score (0-100%) per detected region representing algorithm confidence that the finding is malignant; (3) Case Score (0-100%) per case representing algorithm confidence that the case is malignant. The marks serve as navigation tools linking to the tomosynthesis plane where the detection was identified.

Exact-submission ACR model-card fields were normalized under the current provenance rules; vendor and independent-study confirmation remain distinct. Exact FDA and recall packets were prepared and identity matched, but no new clinical or performance claim was promoted in the conservative fallback. Existing exact-submission facts retain their original source status and applicability; candidate literature remains quarantined. Automated exact-name discovery found 0 PubMed and 0 ClinicalTrials.gov candidate records. Candidates require human product and version matching; zero candidates is not evidence that no studies exist. Native FDA recall identifiers produced 0 postmarket candidate records; 0 have been reviewed (0 published, 0 rejected) and 0 remain unreviewed.

Candidate leads remain unpublished until a human confirms the exact product and tested version.
