Annalise Enterprise CXR

annalise.ai
Annalise Enterprise CXR is an AI clinical decision-support solution for chest X-ray, assisting clinicians to interpret CXR studies by detecting up to 124 findings + suspected tuberculosis. It acts as a second pair of eyes providing notification of suspected findings.

Features include:
• analysing up to three images per study including frontal and lateral images
• a confidence bar displaying the likelihood of the finding and uncertainty of the AI model
• customisable user interface that integrates seamlessly into PACS and RIS.
• worklist triage

**In the US, FDA 510(k) clearance as CADt for five acute findings: pneumothorax, tension pneumothorax, pleural effusion, pneumoperiotneum, and verebral compression fracture.**

General Information

General
Product name Annalise Enterprise CXR
Company annalise.ai
Subspeciality Chest
Modality X-ray
Disease targeted 124 (+TB) findings present in the emergent, urgent, and non-urgent care settings including: air space opacity, interstitial thickening, volume loss, effusions and lung masses, pneumothorax, malpositioned lines and tubes, pneumoperitoneum, acute bony trauma; also supporting the detection of tuberculosis, and chronic conditions, such as osteoporosis, chronic heart failure and COPD
Key-features Detection of up to 124 chest findings + detection of suspected tuberculosis, worklist triage, notification, confidence bar, normal/abnormal differentiation
Suggested use Before: adapting worklist order, flagging acute findings
During: perception aid (prompting all abnormalities/results/heatmaps), interactive decision support (shows abnormalities/results only on demand)
