The ICAD study is one of the studies in the Unit that also is an international collaboration with currently 23 participating cohorts. Recently the international collaboration has been restructured and the latest collaboration is the only one available to researchers and is now known as ICAD2

For all external uses this study should be referred to as the ICAD2.

This international collaborations database follows the Unit's generic model and standardises its structure and management to match other studies for data sharing.
