Postprocessing software vendors sell their software based on the "push of a button" fantasy: Simply by pressing several buttons, the user completes the entire case. Although software interfaces are becoming increasingly more user-friendly, postprocessing volumetric data still requires an advanced skill set.

Techs need advanced postprocessing skills

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) clearance for AngioFlow™, an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled perfusion imaging software that may facilitate more timely assessments of perfusion status prior to endovascular procedures.

Offering color-coded perfusion mapping that identifies regions with reduced cerebral blood flow and blood volume, 

 provides results within minutes of a cone-beam computed tomography (CT) scan, according to RapidAI, the manufacturer of AngioFlow.

In addition to potential cost savings by reducing redundant imaging, RaidAI emphasized that AngioFlow’s timely assessments may reduce long-term disability risks and facilitate life-saving interventions for patients in need of acute stroke care.

“AngioFlow by RapidAI will allow physicians to assess the need for additional imaging immediately in the interventional suite. By avoiding unnecessary scans, stroke patients can receive the timely care that can be the difference between being able to walk out of a hospital to their homes versus being discharged to a skilled nursing facility,” said Abhishek Singh, MD, DABPN, DUCNS, who is affiliated with the Creighton University School of Medicine in Omaha, Nebraska.

The company added that AngioFlow has been validated in more than 10 clinical trials.

Reportedly validated in more than 10 clinical trials, the AngioFlow perfusion imaging software enables timely identification of brain regions with cerebral blood flow reduction and those with significant hypoperfusion.

A 42- year-old female with recent diagnosis of stage III malignant melanoma in her leg presents for evaluation of a palpable right breast lump.

On mammography, in the patient’s area of concern in the right 8:00 position, a well-circumscribed, round mass is seen measuring 5 mm. Just adjacent to this is an additional 10 mm round, well-circumscribed mass. On physical examination, there is a palpable superficial mobile lump in the right 8:00 area of concern.  Ultrasound demonstrates a cyst measuring 4 mm, corresponding to the area of concern at 8:00. At the 8:30 position, there is a heterogeneous round mass noted measuring 12 x 9 x 6 mm.
