Volpara and Lunit co-host session on reducing interval cancers with AI

MONTREAL, April 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Volpara Health Technologies Ltd. (ASX: VHT), a global leader in software for the early detection and prevention of cancer, today debuted a new central, digital destination to manage mammography systems, staff credentials and professional development in support of compliance with the Food & Drug Administration's Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA). Volpara ® Quiver™ software is featured at the Society for Breast Imaging's (SBI) annual symposium alongside the company's suite of solutions for assessing breast density, mammography quality and evaluating cancer risk.

"Breast imaging has long been at the forefront of technology adoption. And yet when it comes to demonstrating compliance with  MQSA”which has high stakes”mammography centers rely on stacks of binders and manual, repetitive and tiresome processes," says Teri Thomas, Volpara CEO. "We affectionally refer to Quiver as our 'Binder Reduction Act' or BRA. By leveraging our Volpara Analytics platform that customers love for automated EQUIP reports and image selection for ACR accreditation, we're able to deliver a more complete, digital compliance experience with Quiver that can speed your audit prep and give you both peace of mind and shelf space."

Quiver helps quality assurance leaders ensure everything is in order well in advance of inspection day. Quiver set up is auto populated with clinic, mammography system and technologist activity from Volpara ® Analytics™ software. The software is accessible from any web browser and provides a clinic by clinic look at technologists' continuing education records and mammography system quality assurance documentation. Technologists can upload their own records and email notifications can alert staff when their credits are about to expire. Free credits are also available through Volpara ® Hive™, an online community exclusively for Volpara customers. All documentation can be presented to inspectors digitally or printed.
