Over the wires we read about a new software company Rcadia Medical Imaging, Ltd., based in Boston, Mass, that has developed an automatic medical image processing software that works through coronary CT angiography data, and outputs an “automated no human interaction coronary CTA analysis.” Rcadia hopes that one day its software will be able to fully automate clinical analysis and interpretation of coronary CTs, and assist radiologists and cardiologists in their daily workflow by stratifying patients for further tests or invasive procedures, as well as avoiding unnecessary delays in treatments.
From the product brochure:
COR Analyzer-Fully Automated No Human Interaction Coronary CTA Analysis
• No human interaction for segmentation and tracking of coronary artery tree
• No human interaction for detecting stenotic lesions in the major coronary arteries
• High Negative Predictive Value
• The COR Analyzer accepts standard DICOM data sets acquired by all four 64 slice CT manufacturers
Automatic Coronary CTA Analysis
Upon receiving a Coronary CTA data set, the COR Analyzer processes it automatically, without any user interaction, yielding the following results:
• Overlay tagging of the coronary arteries and lesions on the axial slices
• 3D presentation of the coronary tree and the location of the suspected lesions
• Different colors are automatically assigned to the four main coronary arteries-RCA, LAD, LM and LCX
• Pathologies Report
