AI-Rad Companion Chest X-ray

Siemens Healthineers

The AI-Rad Companion Chest X-ray automatically characterizes radiographic findings for a valid chest scan in the lung and pleura. It works like a second or third reader to support radiologists in differential diagnosis and clinical decision-making. It is capable of detecting pneumothorax, pulmonary lesions (nodules, masses, and granuloma), actelectasis, consolidation and pleural effusion. The DL algorithms automatically detect the tip of the endotracheal tube and carina. The distance will be computed and notifies when the distance between an endotracheal tube tip and the carina is above or below the configured threshold.
