Indicated for the triage and notification of obstructive hydrocephalus on non-contrast brain computed tomography (CT), the artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled software is reportedly the first radiology triage modality to obtain the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Breakthrough Device Designation.

In a prospective study of over 55,000 women who had screening mammography, researchers found that double-reading by a radiologist and artificial intelligence (AI) was non-inferior to double-reading by two radiologists in detecting breast cancer.
