The artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled Viz™ Vascular Suite reportedly allows automated detection of vascular conditions, shown on computed tomography (CT) and other imaging modalities, and facilitates timely triage among interdisciplinary teams.
An emerging artificial intelligence (AI) software, which can be utilized with multiple imaging modalities, may enhance the assessment and timely care coordination for vascular conditions, including aortic dissection and pulmonary embolism.
The recently launched Viz Vascular Suite can be utilized with a variety of imaging modalities, including computed tomography (CT) and echocardiography, to provide automated analysis of suspected vascular conditions, according to the software’s manufacturer Viz.ai.
After a vascular condition has been identified, Viz.ai said the Viz Vascular Suite software app sends alerts and patient imaging scans via HIPAA-compliant means to the mobile devices of providers. Philip Batista, M.D., emphasized the ability of the Viz Vascular Suite to foster timely notification and interdisciplinary care for patients with serious vascular conditions.
“When Viz identifies an abnormal scan, it quickly notifies the appropriate specialists regardless of their location, facilitating seamless communication via mobile application,” noted Dr. Batista, an assistant professor of surgery and associate program director of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Residency at the Cooper Medical School of Rowan University in Camden, N.J. “We’ve been using the Viz software for the last several months and have seen improvements in patient care across our institution.”

CT Study: AI Algorithm Comparable to Radiologists in Differentiating Small Renal Masses
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.
MRI-Based Deep Learning Algorithm Shows Comparable Detection of csPCa to Radiologists
May 8th 2024In a study involving over 1,000 visible prostate lesions on biparametric MRI, a deep learning algorithm detected 96 percent of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) in comparison to a 98 percent detection rate for an expert genitourinary radiologist.
