PlusCAD, Inc., a Pittsburgh-based company founded in 2002, provides mammography film digitization and computer-aided detection analysis exclusively to certified mammography facilities.

Herta M. Klaman, the founder and President of PlusCAD, Inc., has 30+ years of experience in the radiology profession. Prior to establishing PlusCAD, Klaman was employed as the administrative director of a premier breast program located in the nation’s largest dedicated women’s hospital. Klaman was instrumental in the initiation of mammography CAD services in a breast program performing 45,000+ screening mammograms annually in seven sites. Her experience and expertise in breast imaging supplied the foundation to establish and manage PlusCAD, Inc.

“ I was fortunate to be associated with an institution involved in the evaluation of emerging technologies which included mammography CAD. After our initial experience with CAD, we had little doubt that this technology would evolve to become standard of care for breast cancer screening. Unfortunately, in today’s healthcare climate, the cost of CAD equipment presents an insurmountable problem for most mammography facilities. It occurred to me that it is not unusual for Imaging Departments to contract with companies for CT, MRI, PET, and DXA services, so why not CAD?”

Klaman explains, “PlusCAD’s business model permits access to CAD technology to all mammography providers by removing cost barriers. I’m amazed by the rapid acceptance of our service model and fulfilled by the benefit we provide – not only to the clients we serve but to the women they serve. It is a win-win situation for all.”
