Riverain’s Chest X-Ray Comparison Tool Gets FDA Nod
Temporal Comparison software compares current and prior chest X-rays to help identify nodules that may be early-stage lung cancer.
Riverain Technologies, a Dayton, Ohio-based medical technology company, has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its Temporal Comparison software, which compares current and prior chest X-rays and can help identify nodules that may be early-stage lung cancer, the company announced.
The technology targets differences between the X-rays, drawing attention to what could be an emerging or enlarging tumor. The software aligns the two images to produce a difference image, which the company said allows radiologists to identify subtle changes more clearly.
In a study of 422 pairs of chest X-rays, 15 radiologists demonstrated an average of 12.4 percent improvement in sensitivity for actionable solitary pulmonary nodules using the software, compared to results viewing the X-rays side by side, the company said.
The software can be used with Riverain’s Bone Suppression software, which removes the bones from the image to make differences more conspicuous.
Can Portable Dual-Energy X-Ray be a Viable Alternative to CT in the ICU?
September 13th 2024The use of a portable dual-energy X-ray detector in the ICU at one community hospital reportedly facilitated a 37.5 percent decrease in chest CT exams in comparison to the previous three months, according to research presented at the American Society of Emergency Radiology (ASER) meeting in Washington, D.C.
