Do you remember our former CCO - Mark Koeniguer ?

Do you remember our former CCO, Mark Koeniguer ? Remember that he was let go by Volpara when they appointed (they would have been better off selecting someone at random) the highly unsuited Ms Songson. I said at the time, he is a highly influential and respected figure in the industry and you should watch where he lands. It now appears he has landed somewhere interesting.

Hmm ... I seem to have heard of Screenpoint Medical. Thats right its Prof Brady and Prof Karssemeijer AI outfit and weren't they among the key founders of Volpara ? Who sold down their shares close to the highs about 18 months ago. Obviously there is a lot more to this story than meets the eye.

Just for additional context this is worth reading.

I highlight the interesting bit below

"All mammograms were analyzed by version 1.6 of the Transpara AI software (ScreenPoint Medical). The researchers also used an open-access software application, Laboratory for Individualized Breast Radiodensity Assessment, to compute the breast density percentage on the index screening mammograms."

Hmm .... despite the DENSE trials previously using Volpara the Dutch Breast Cancer Screening Program now seems to prefer to use Open access software for breast density computations. No doubt there is a story to behind this.
