RapidAI’s Rapid Hyperdensity tool reportedly allows quicker assessment of hyperdense tissue in the brain via non-contrast computed tomography (CT) scans.
RapidAI has received FDA 510(k) clearance for Rapid Hyperdensity, an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled tool that may allow for more timely assessment of traumatic brain injuries and hemorrhages.
Rapid Hyperdensity’s AI-powered review of non-contrast computed tomography (CT) enables radiologists to quickly determine the extent of hyperdense tissue volume associated with acute neurological conditions such as intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), according to RapidAI.
Alejandro M. Spiotta, M.D., said the automated detection of intracranial hyperdense tissue volume with Rapid Hyperdensity is a significant advance in facilitating timely triage and ongoing assessment of patients with ICH.
“Detection of ICH via AI can save lives by helping to speed up diagnosis and accelerate transfer to the best physician and hospital that can take care of the patient,” noted Dr. Spiotta, the director of the Neuroendovascular Surgery Division at the Medical University of South Carolina. “With the addition of automatic hyperdense volume measurement, physicians can more easily track volume over time and help quickly identify which patients may require an intervention.”
AI Algorithm Comparable to Radiologists in Differentiating Small Renal Masses on CT
May 14th 2024An emerging deep learning algorithm had a lower AUC and sensitivity than urological radiologists for differentiating between small renal masses on computed tomography (CT) scans but had a 21 percent higher sensitivity rate than non-urological radiologists, according to new research.
What a New Meta-Analysis Reveals About Fractional Flow Reserve Assessment with Computed Tomography
May 13th 2024While acknowledging variable accuracy overall with CT-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR-CT) values, researchers found that the accuracy rate increased to 90 percent for FFR-CT values greater > 0.90 and < 0.49.
Study Finds High Concordance Between AI and Radiologists for Cervical Spine Fractures on CT
May 6th 2024Researchers found a 98.3 percent concordance between attending radiology reports and AI assessments for possible cervical spine fractures on CT, according to new research presented at the 2024 ARRS Annual Meeting.
