CINA-iPE is a radiological computer-aided triage and notification software indicated for use in patients undergoing contrast-enhanced CT scans (not dedicated CTPA protocol) for other clinical indications than pulmonary embolism suspicion, including at least a part of the lung. The device is intended to assist hospital networks and trained radiologists in workflow triage by flagging and communicating suspected positive findings for incidental Pulmonary Embolism (iPE). The device is indicated for adults and transitional adolescents (18 to 21 years old but treated as adults). CINA-iPE uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze images and highlight cases with detected incidental PE on a standalone application in parallel to the ongoing standard of care image interpretation. The user is presented with notifications for cases with suspected incidental PE findings. The device is not designed to detect PE in subsegmental arteries. Notifications include compressed preview images that are meant for informational purposes only and are not intended for diagnostic use beyond notification. The device does not alter the original medical image, and it is not intended to be used as a diagnostic device. The results of CINA-iPE are intended to be used in conjunction with other patient information and based on professional judgment to assist with the triage/prioritization of medical images. Notified clinicians are ultimately responsible for reviewing full images per the standard of care.
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).
