Riverain Technologies has received FDA 510(k) clearance for software aimed at improving clarity of conventional chest X-rays.
Riverain Technologies has received FDA 510(k) clearance for software aimed at improving clarity of conventional chest X-rays, the company announced.
ClearRead + Confirm also allows radiologists to confirm the proper placement of tubes, lines, and wires, the company said. Portable chest X-ray machines, typically used to confirm line and tube placement, doesn’t have high quality images, and radiologists spend time adjusting the machines to make the edges stand out.
This software increases the readability of the chest X-ray by selectively increasing contrast and suppressing the clavicles and ribs in the image, removing items that could obscure visibility of the lines and tubes.
A Georgetown University reader study assessed the time it took radiologists to locate PICC lines, nasogastric tubes, and wires that conduct or measure electrical impulses. Ten radiologists reviewed 334 X-rays with and without the software, and the software reduced the reading time by 19 percent, according to the company.
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
