Carestream Health and French radiology training firm Forcomed have joined forces in an initiative to provide Internet-based training program for digital mammography.
The program will supplement radiologists' knowledge with a training module that is accessible to compatible digital mammography systems using Carestream's recently launched VueCloud service for mammography, the two firms said.
Radiologists will access digital mammography imaging data that is stored in the Carestream data center in France via a secure Internet connection from their own workstation. They can then follow the training module created by Forcomed and obtain a diagnosis via a specific Web application developed by Carestream.
The program will allow radiologists to improve their skills without spending time and money to travel to and from the classroom for training, Forcomed said.
