BriefCase - Pulmonary Embolism Triage

Aidoc
Aidoc's pulmonary embolism algorithm is a triage algorithm that alerts clinicians to the presence of one or more suspected pulmonary embolisms that are massive (high-risk), sub-massive (intermediate-risk) or low-risk acute pulmonary embolisms in all segments (central, lobar, segmental, sub-segmental). This algorithm is run on contrast enhanced CTs that are ordered for indications of a suspected pulmonary embolism.
