Lunit INSIGHT CXR

Lunit

Lunit INSIGHT CXR is deep learning based software that assists radiologists or clinicians in the interpretation of chest x-ray (PA/AP). The AI solution automatically detects 10 radiologic findings including atelectasis, calcification, cardiomegaly, consolidation, fibrosis, mediastinal widening, nodule, pleural effusion, pneumoperitoneum, and pneumothorax, and also supports tuberculosis screening. The analysis result contains (1) localization of suspicious areas in color or outline, (2) abnormality scores reflecting the probability that the detected lesion is abnormal, and (3) text interpretation for the analysis result by each finding.
