qXR-PTX-PE is a radiological computer-assisted triage and notification software that analyzes adult chest X-ray images for the presence of pre-specified suspected critical findings (pleural effusion and/or pneumothorax). qXR-PTX-PE uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze images for features suggestive of critical findings and provides case-level output available in the PACS/workstation for worklist prioritization or triage.As a passive notification for prioritization-only software tool within standard of care workflow, qXR-PTX-PE does not send a proactive alert directly to the appropriately trained medical specialists. qXR-PTX-PE is not intended to direct attention to specific portions of an image or to anomalies other than pleural effusion and/or pneumothorax. Its results are not intended to be used on a stand-alone basis for clinical decision-making.
A software application intended to facilitate management, distribution, and/or viewing of radiological digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) image data; it is not intended for pathological image interpretation (i.e., not intended to detect and localize suspected abnormalities). It may be intended to facilitate image management (e.g., viewing, communication, printing, recording/ disc burning) and/or image manipulation and quantification (e.g., non-interpretive graphical overlays).
