Intended Use Statements
Intended use (according to CE) ChestLink automatically and autonomously (without the involvement of a radiologist) evaluates a chest X-ray study. The software is indicated to automatically detect actionable radiological findings on chest radiographs. After this analysis, one of two actions is performed: (1) If ChestLink is confident that a study has no actionable radiological findings, a report is automatically generated. The study is not reported on by a trained radiologist. (2) If ChestLink cannot confidently rule out the presence of actionable radiological findings, the study is directed to be reported on by a radiologist.
