CINA-ASPECTS is a computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) software device used to assist the clinician in the assessment and characterization of brain tissue abnormalities using CT image data.The Software automatically reorients images, segments and analyzes ASPECTS Regions of lnterest (ROIs). CINA-ASPECTS extracts image data for the ROI(s) to provide analysis and computer analytics based on morphological characteristics. The imaging features are then synthesized by an artificial intelligence algorithm into a single ASPECT (Alberta Stroke Program Early CT) Score. CINA-ASPECTS is indicated for evaluation of patients presenting for diagnostic imaging workup with known MCA or ICA occlusion, for evaluation of extent of disease. Extent of disease refers to the number of ASPECTS regions affected which is reflected in the total score. This device provides information that may be useful in the characterization of early ischemic (acute) brain tissue injury during image interpretation. CINA-ASPECTS provides a comparative analysis to the ASPECTS standard of care radiologist assessment using the ASPECTS region definitions and highlighting ROIs and numerical scoring
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 quality manipulation and quantification (e.g., non-interpretive graphical overlays).
