Cenova Image Analytics Server 3.0 Installation & Service Manual 

 

 

 

MAN-05205 Revision 003 

 

What's New 

The Cenova™ Image Analytics Server processes digital mammography images using 
proprietary software algorithms. 
The software applications available for the Cenova server are: 

• 

ImageChecker

®

 CAD (2D and synthesized 2D) 

• 

ImageChecker

®

 3D Calc CAD 

• 

Quantra™ application 

• 

DigitalNow™ HD 

Certain applications may not be approved for use within the United States.

1

 Each 

application requires a valid software license. Instructions for installing and configuring 
the software can be found in this manual. 

Upgrade kits are available

 that allow any qualified Cenova server to be updated with 

the current Cenova software. Customers can be upgraded as long as: 

• 

Their system is covered by a Hologic warranty or service agreement. Certain 
restrictions apply. 

• 

Their server hardware meets the minimum requirements. Only Windows 7 is 
supported. Kits to upgrade Windows XP hardware to Windows 7 are available. 

 

 

Important

 

Ensure the minimum hardware requirements to run Windows 7 are met (refer 
to the 

Cenova™ Image Analytics Server System Requirements

).  

• 

Their diagnostic review workstations can render the Cenova output. 

Customers are eligible for free Cenova application upgrades as long as the above 
requirements are met. Upgrades can also be purchased separately. 
The Cenova T-Series server is required to run ImageChecker 3D Calc CAD.
