Strategic Acquisition Enhances AI Capabilities
ScreenPoint Medical’s acquisition of Biomediq A/S on January 8, 2025, represents a milestone in AI-driven breast cancer detection. This strategic merger follows ten years of collaborative research, integrating Biomediq’s quantitative imaging biomarkers into ScreenPoint’s Transpara Breast AI platform.
Advanced Risk Assessment Technology
The cornerstone of this integration is Biomediq’s sophisticated breast cancer risk analysis technology, which performs automated analysis of both 2D and 3D mammograms. Their proprietary Mammographic Texture Risk biomarker identifies tissue heterogeneity patterns linked to both immediate and long-term breast cancer risk factors.
Proven Clinical Success
A groundbreaking 2023 study demonstrated the exceptional potential of combining Transpara’s detection capabilities with Biomediq’s texture analysis. The research revealed that this integrated approach significantly enhanced risk prediction accuracy and could potentially double early cancer detection rates for high-risk patients.
Transpara 2.1: Enhanced Features and Capabilities
The latest iteration, Transpara 2.1, introduces several revolutionary features:
- Automated breast density assessment
- Advanced temporal comparison analyzing up to three prior studies
- FDA clearance and CE marking for all major components
- Improved algorithm training based on global user insights
Expert Leadership Perspectives
Professor Nico Karssemeijer, ScreenPoint Medical’s CSO, emphasizes how this merger advances risk-stratified screening, optimizing resource allocation and patient care. Professor Mads Nielsen, Biomediq‘s co-founder, continues as an advisor, ensuring seamless integration of both companies’ technologies.
Validated Clinical Impact
Transpara’s effectiveness is thoroughly documented in over 35 peer-reviewed publications, with implementation across major healthcare institutions worldwide. Clinical studies demonstrate up to 45% improvement in early interval cancer detection, while simultaneously enhancing workflow efficiency.
